thanks, and something special?

first of all, thank you to all who have purchased, listened, and or shared our new album! we sincerely appreciate it. for those who couldnt make it to the cd release party last weekend, we missed you, but let it be known it was a blast! very special thanks to our pals beware of safety, timonium, pehrspace, and to del for djing between sets! it was a great night and we appreciate you all who made (or wanted to make) it out!

this next bit of news is a little embarrassing, but frankly, we are’nt the type of guys to not get too worked up over stuff like this.  amidst all the chaos of trying to get the album back in time for the cd release show, a slight oversight on our part leaves us with, well lets just say:  a collectors edition special error package.

much like the famous inverted jenny stamp,

the first pressing of more after we’re gone has a slight mistake on the artwork :) the tracklisting on the back of the art is actually out of order! it will be corrected in later pressings, but for now, we laugh, and say, enjoy!

art_proof_back_small the errors are:

1. floruit should be track 5 and listed after men before them and before stunning clarity

2. eternal return is track 8 and should be directly after men before us

3. llangollen should be track 9 after eternal return

full track list should be:

1. the dead vineyard

2. intelligentsiya

3. luna park

4. men before them

5. floruit

6. stunning clarity

7. men before us

8. eternal return

9. llangollen

10. afternoon lull

11. a secret society

12. our sisters

“how could this happen?” one might ask, and its simple; so many things were going on at the last minute that it was just a true oversight! the good news is that the track listing on the digital version and the songs are embedded on the cd are correct! so if your lucky enough to get the first pressing, consider this a collectors item!

more news coming soon including some VERY exciting out of town shows, more music releases and other cool stuff!

all the best,

january flew by, but mixing has begun on the new album!

howdy everyone,

we have been a bit silent lately, so we thought we would pass on a couple of quick updates,  the first being progress on the new album. i know i know, all we do is talk about this thing… and the reality is, its really all thats been going on in the signal hill world! we were back in the studio last weekend doing a couple of final touches on tracking. tracking is completely finalized, and in fact, our buddy murphy is set to begin mixing this weekend!  we are on target for a late march/early april release (pending mixing goes smoothly, which are very optimistic about).  stay tuned for more updates as they come available!

also, in other signal hill news, brian (aka stash) and his lady stacey are set to deliver their baby girl lauren in the next few days! we are very excited for them and their new addition!

in other la instrumental jammage news, our good friends beware of safety have posted the following on there blog:

BoS has hit the airwaves with force. What would really help our radio campaign is calls from fans to all their local radio stations requesting BoS music to be played. As you can see from the following numbers from our promotion team at AAM Promo, we’re cracking in to the top of the charts in a handful of cities country-wide, so with your help, we’d be able to get consistently in the top 15 for certain. Here’s a sample of what dogs is doing in it’s first few weeks…

“Beware of Safety starts off their radio campaign with some great debuts from significant stations like KBOO [Portland, OR] @ #9, WONC [Naperville, IL] @ #29, WHUS [Storrs, CT] @ #28, WKPX [Sunrise, CA] @ #29, WUVT [Blacksburg, VA] @ #12, WCVF [Fredonia, NY] @ #13, WCUR [West Chester, PA] @ #25, WUPX [Marquette, MI] @ #26, WVOF [Fairfield, CT] @ #20 and KSCR-1 in Los Angeles, CA at #23.”

Also from AAM: “It is a very positive week for Beware of Safety with a solid amount of debuts from substantial stations and one of the highest download rates in AAM Digital history.”

email your local stations and help request tracks from dogs!

lastly,  the littlest viking, have completed their full length album! www.myspace.com/thelittlestvikings for more info! congrats on their new release, and you should absolutely pick it up!

thats all for now folks, thanks again for your continue patience!

best,

sh
