Stop To Smell The Flowers

So far, it seems everyone is digging Full Bloom.

Foxy Digitalis gave it an 8 out of 10!

Forest Gospel's mind was equally blown.

The Knoxville News Sentinel even gave me some love. Apparently they only miss you when you're gone....as in moving to a city roughly two hours away.

Full Bloom is out now. Pick one up from Install (www.installsound.net)

Magma

Check out a song from the upcoming Millipede album on Dead Pilot Records. It's called "Magma" and it will be on the album called 1982. It's the last song in a mix that Dan from Dead Pilot did for Fluid Radio with a bunch of other awesome Dead Pilot groups/artists. Scope it out here.

In other news, Full Bloom will be out in a minute. It's going to be a good year for new Millipede jamz! German Shepherd split is in the works as well as other "secret" projects.

Toward the Future.....

Things in the works for 2010.
Millipede - Full Bloom (Install) full length. Finished and due out before or around spring.
Millipede - TBA (Dead Pilot) full length. In the writing/recording process. More info at a later date.
Millipede/German Sheperd split 7". In the works but no more info available at this time.

Most importantly, after the Dead Pilot full length is finished recording I will most likely provide an entire album's worth of b-side type material from the Full Bloom/Dead Pilot album sessions for free as a download here. I sent some of this material to friends after finishing Full Bloom and the reaction was extremely positive. Since I began working on the album for Dead Pilot there has been a lot more of this type of material surface. Mostly it will be things that did not work thematically for either of the albums or possibly sounded a little too similar to me to something I had done before. If there's one thing I can't stand it's an artist's inability to self-edit. At the same time I'm aware that sometimes people want to hear all the scraps if they really like an artist's work. I just want to make sure that it is understood that this stuff is not meant to be regarded as an album unto itself.

Until then....best wishes.

Here is a re-up of the Hyrule cassette. It came to my attention that the old link is dead.

Full Bloom is coming in 2010 on Install. More live actions forthcoming. Another full-length for UK label Dead Pilot is in the pipeline, about halfway through the writing/recording process. In the meantime you can still pick up copies of Death Mountain from Install (www.installsound.net) and the last copies of the Traveling split CD are available through Sunrise Acoustics (www.sunriseacoustics.com) or if you live in Knoxville, TN you can purchase one at The Disc Exchange. Best wishes everyone!
