Knowing we haven’t posted new music in awhile, and given our slow pace, I thought I’d put up an old demo for listen and download. A dusty spare we had lying around called "Straight Lines." Let us know what you think.
--Thanks to Adam for wearing our t-shirt on a couple recent Mythbusters episodes! Glad to see some folks have noticed.
--Quite a few recent reviews - Pop Culture Press was generous enough to call the record "stellar." Spain’s powerpopaction makes us a top 40 record of the year. Absolutepowerpop puts us in the top 100. And we didn’t even know we were power pop. In the Netherlands, altcountry.nl gives us three and a half horses! We didn’t know we were alt-country, either. Big Takeover says Stay My Satellite is a "really strong record!" And just the other day, Dagger also had a few nice things to say.
Check out the San Francisco Songwriters Coalition shows at 12 Galaxies this fall. We played in the series on October 18.
"Stay My Satellite" is available for download through iTunes and other sources, and on CD from Miles of Music , Not Lame and CD Baby
You can also buy the CD from us direct for $10, with shipping (U.S. Only), through paypal!The Morning Line "pops and shines like a mournful, West Coast Luna, fronted by a ragged, smoky Elvis Costello type." -- East Bay Express
They "capture the raspy mournful vibe of Elliott Smith combined with a three-chord jangly pop. . . . This hook-filled album nicely mixes up rockers and introspective tunes." -- Miles of Music
"This almost-supergroup doesn’t sound too much like any of the member’s previous bands. The Morning Line moves away from all of that into spacious and melodic alt-country moodiness. The vocals sometimes traffic in a Dharma Bums smoothness, and some songs hold up a soft sad hand towards early American Music Club. But these boys rock a little harder, with great guitar work and steady drums that catch on a few nice stop start rhythms. I want to hear more." -- Big Takeover
"Staten Island. . . sounds like it would have been one of the best songs on an album like, say, REM’s ’Fables Of The Reconstruction’ or The Windbreakers ’Run.’ VERY highly recommended." --Bruce Brodeen, Not Lame
