the sincerest form of FLATTERY.

as we are fans before we are musicians--paying homage to one of our influences is a welcome thing. we recently recorded a song for dale marquez's long awaited follow up to last year's brilliant "strange carousels" online compilation. [which is still available for download] it is tentatively titled "under the covers." [it is not yet available for download, but we'll let you know as soon as it is!]

so, the theme this time around? ding-ding-ding! you guessed it--cover songs!

our contribution to the project was an attempt to do right by one of our most favourite bands in the entire world : aberdeen. [if you've never heard them, we strongly urge you to do so. their music changed our lives!]

the song : "toy tambourine." i think that we did quite well. we even got a thumbs up from mr. john girgus himself. no compliment could be worth more. :)

[21] twenty-one to PARTY!

if you haven't already had the chance to [or had the idea to, for that matter] check out a great indie pop compilation, here's a tip. "strange carousels" [volume [2] two in a series featuring ALL FILIPINO indie pop bands] is available for free [yes, FREE] download. the demo for our song "the games we play" is track [9] nine. other great bands such as camera shy, some gorgeous accident & farewell isobel also make an appearance on this [21] twenty-one song collection. many thanks to dale marquez & company for making it possible. volume [1] one "summer escape" is also up for grabs. a third volume of cover songs is in the works. we plan on contributing to that one as well. what song will we choose? you'll just have to wait & see. hehe. patience is a virtue. or so they say.
