New Album Nearly Complete

New Album Nearly Complete

When we began recording Fellow Travelers a year ago, we’d already started working on Jet Plane and Oxbow, and it was strange to return to it after the Fellow Travelers tours of the US and Europe. Since then, we’ve been working on the new album in a way I never have before, in regular sessions […]

2014 ‘Fellow Travelers’ Tour Starts Here + Missing Islands

First, a present to you, loyal listeners:  We recorded it in WNYC’s studio during the Animal Joy tour for use on Radiolab’s “Colors” episode, in which you can hear a fragment as part of the segment “The Perfect Yellow”. But the whole track never surfaced, which was too bad; David Gaume, our sound engineer, spent hours trying valiantly […]
