About Me

Bathtub.Lightbulb.Heartattack was recorded with James Lison and was premixed by Alan Weatherhead, who has produced tracks by Cracker and Crooked Fingers and also plays with Sparklehorse and Hotel Lights. The band will undertake a short tour in January to coincide with the album's release and is planning a longer tour in late Spring.BTH is a complete album rather than a collection of songs, written immediately after 9/11, and expressing the anxiety, confusion, and paranoia of the moment of its creation. It can only be experienced in its entirety, as a CD, a medium quickly losing ground as an art form, like the novel, like theatre. You can only get this album at www.doubleplusgoodrecords.com. There are only a few original copies left forever.
