We will be playing one of NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts tomorrow, October 16th, at 4:30PM. This means that we’ll be huddled around Bob Boilen’s desk, playing a few acoustic versions of songs from Rook. It’s good to be on the road in America again, especially since this probably marks the end of this year’s major touring in the USA. The fall colors are beautiful here in the northeast. UPDATED: NPR has this performance archived here.
Available now at your friendly local record shop, on your favorite internet music service, and/or at the Sub Pop Mega Mart.
Alert! Our insanely talented old friends Kahn and Selesnick are finally re-printing the panoramic deck of cards that inspired the Rook cover. Their kickstarter for the project has already fully funded, but you can explore/ order one here (before they run out). (JM)

I was just pondering last week if I might be able to buy these somewhere... *clicks*.

This is the newly-shed skin of a coral snake. From my back yard! (I saw the snake, too, but didn’t get a picture in time). 9-year-old me (and 43-year-old me) are flipping out. (JM)
I hear you. 40 year old me reverted to 8 year old me when I saw a bunch of newts the other day. And there were river otters too. It was a good day 😊
Red and yellow...run like hell.
I would have been running away screaming
Awesome!
We found a four foot snake skin in our storage area last year. 😱
Snek friend!
science!!
So...there’s a new Loma the band single out today. (!). The video features me, Dan, Emily, some non-CGI fireworks, and a cameo by Noodle the cat. (JM)

NEW SONG!! We're so excited to be able to share HALF SILENCES with you today. We hope you love it as much as we do! <3
We've been home in TX working on our new album, but we took time out to shoot this video for our latest single. JM and Dan held the fireworks while Emily danced. If you look carefully, you can spot a cameo by Noodle the cat.

Directors: Emily Cross, Dan Duszynski, Jonathan Meiburg, Sam Sanford
That was so good!! Love love love. And the video was sooooo cute. Maybe cute wasn't what you were going for but I kept saying "Awww" XD <3 And, Noodles forever.
Lovely, lovely... and my first cat was named Noodle!
Love this song; chill and mesmerizing. Thanks you.
The vibe of the song is simple and mellow, yet engaging. The lyrics are on point. I love the offbeat-ness (new word?) of the video. Excellent stuff!
I've already listened to it several times over. And my cat radar spotted Noodle immediately 💜
Great work guys and a superb video to boot
Time to get hyped! 🙌🏻
This is beautiful!
Couldn’t spot Noodle 😿
Love, Love, Love it!
Very nice indeed!
yes!
What a treat to wake up to! 💗
I didn't know how much I needed this song. Thank you, JM! I'm already spreading the word.
Well that was rather great wasn't it.
