Import Extort

Because imports of Please Kid, Remember are being sold at outrageous prices ($30 - $50!), I encourage anyone interested in purchasing the album to deal directly with the record label responsible for its release. You will get a MUCH better deal (around 7 pounds UK). Here is a list of places to get the best deal on anything I've released:

Grey Light of the Season - Recording Diary #2

me & a Christmas tree

I've finished all the lead vocals for 22 tracks in the running for Grey Light of the Season. I feel like the songs officially exist now, which is very exciting to me. I was hoping it would all sound like a spooky folk record, and it most definitely does. Everything stops the day after Christmas when I leave for a winter teaching contract in Daegu, Korea, but I'll be back in Lawrence in April to record harmonies and a touch of strings & piano.

Gideon Coe has been playing "First Snow of the Year" from Please Kid, Remember on his BBC6 show! Maybe he'll give "Turn Your Collar to the Cold" a spin come January...

As Long As We're Together on the BBC

Some exciting news from across the pond this morning:

Gideon Coe played 'As Long As We Are Together' roughly 1 hour and 34 minutes into his BBC6Music show last night (Wednesday 21st October): http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00nf19m#segments

As Long As We're Together UK Release

This November, Broken Horse will release the As Long As We're Together EP in the UK & Europe. The title track is the first single from the album Please Kid, Remember, and the tracklisting is as follows:

01. As Long As We're Together
02. Who Ever Knew
03. Always in Dreams
04. Minji Lee
05. A Matter of Months
06. As Mine
07. As Long As We're Together (Reprise)
08. Quite a Pair

If you're looking for an autumn album, please consider Please Kid, Remember. In the words of the UK's Guardian newspaper, "This album couldn't be more haunting and autumnal if it came with some leaves and a packet of freeze-dried memories of your ex-loves."

Happy October,
