Well, it’s done. We’ve finished Big Cardboard Robot. It’ll be available for download on the main site and PureVolume this Tuesday. Physical copies are on the radar screen, but won’t be available in the near future as far as we can tell. (And BTW, you people who downloaded “The System is Down” and “Back to the Abacus” from PureVolume will want to re-download anyway; significant changes have been made to both.)

What can I say? It’s been a lot of fun and a lot of… not fun. One track in particular was absolutely 100% (well, at least 98%) not fun. But we’re proud of this album, and while it may not be a great album, we all agree that it’s a decent album.

The recording process for this album has to be one of the most random, disjointed ones in history, and we have many entertaining and memorable stories concerning it (like recording “The System” outside Mar Smauel’s chicken coop, or Nevik improvising a bridge by saying, “Let’s try some bar chords,” or Cthulhu and me trying to figure out how Smauel wanted his lyrics sung). There’s too much to recount in one blog post. So, um, I guess I’ll stop trying and just shut up now.

Until Tuesday, here’s the album art for you to salivate over:

Thanks to all our friends, families, and groupies for their continual support. Especially the groupies. 😀 jk, jk…
