We are incredibly proud of this album, we put our heart and soul into it, and we really think you will hear that.There are 11 songs, and two of them feature some of our favorite vocalists, Chris Simpson of Mineral and Bob Nanna of Braid.Most of you know how important the lyrics are to us in this band. In this album, each song tells a story in a very literal and personal way. I tried my best to paint a very vivid picture so that you, the listener, can just imagine themselves in my shoes. To that end, we will also be releasing a companion (yet very separate release) of the album, called "Ribbon". It uses our lyrics, and is illustrated by the incredibly talented Free Ben Sears. We are so thrilled to show this thing off to you. It will be sold separate or as package deal with the LP.The album art of "You Will Eventually Be Forgotten" was designed by Yelena Bryksenkova, and she did a marvelous job. We couldn't have picked a better person to work with.Finally, a lot of you have been asking us when we are coming to your city. The answer is very soon. We are currently booking a 8 week tour that will hit almost all of the United States. That will take place in September, starting with a show with Mineral (OMFG!) on the 15th of Columbus. More details as we get closer to the tour, but we can't wait to see all of you and be playing brand new songs.Here are the track titles:1. Ribbon2. I Was Somewhere Cold, Dark... and Lonely3. We Are People Here. We Are Not Numbers4. A Keepsake5. You Have to Be So Much Better than You Ever Thought6. Stay Divided7. Foxfire8. Things Not Worth Fixing9. If It's Bad News, It Can Wait10. It's So Much Darker When a Light Goes Out than When It Would Have Been If it Had Never Shone11. The Promise That Life Can Go On No Matter How Bad Our LossesWe will be posting new lyrics for each song every week to get you excited for the album and graphic novel. Thank so much to all of you for sticking with us and being the best fans. We love you! ♥♥♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The graphic novel will be incredible, I had no idea something like that would be coming. This is gonna be too great. They've grown a lot since their first album (in my opinion at least) It's gonna be funny seeing the people that haven't followed the EPs and Splits getting mad about this album. Personally I prefer Home After Three Months Away over the LP and I'll be getting more of that with this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 On Time Spent Waiting is probably my favorite. The Malegoat split is so perfect though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna leave out single song releases, I'm not that crazy.
