It’s been a while since we last talked, but that’s not because we’re lazy or angry with you.  It’s because we’re recording!  A lot!  Boyoyoing!

HBO Signature to Use “The Sun and Earth” in Promos!
Starting last night, and running throughout the week, HBO Signature will be featuring our song “The Sun and Earth” in promotional commercials for some of their original films.  How about THEM apples?!  Check your local listing.

“Momma”

In acknowledgement of Mother’s Day, we’ve recorded an apocryphal ditty of ours called “Momma”.  See, it was hidden on our debut album, Plane in Flames, but you had to be very clever to find it…
With the help of some of our most attractive friends, we’ve recorded a MUCH better version.  It’s got EVERYTHING!  Trumpets!  Choirs!  Banjos!  Even hip hops!  Click the following link to stream it, or right-click & Save As to download it for free!
