I really intended to pay more attention to this blog, but as you can see from the number of recent posts, I've been very slack, or perhaps just lazy.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, where do I begin? Oh, well you know about the Lost Wishes EP, right? It came out so perfectly, especially the artwork. Kevin Beard runs Box Bedroom Rebels and did all the artwork for the EP. We went with a rainy-day-library theme because I liked the idea of having a sleeve inspired by something Belle &Sebastian might have done. Warren Fournier took the wonderful photographs. He has a website <a href="http://warrenfournier.com/">here</a> that you might be interested in. I was happy with most of the songs. I'll be giving a track by track analysis of the EP in a future post. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm actually very busy at the moment recording a brand new EP that should be available this Summer. We've joined the roster at Oscarson Records out of Germany for this one. It's about half way completed. Musically it won't be much different than Lost Wishes and may contain some of the longest songs we've done so far.<br />

I'm beyond thrilled to announce the release of our very first vinyl release, Lost Wishes. It's an 8-track micro LP which came out on Box Bedroom Rebels on Dec 13, 2014. A limited-edition release, it sold out in just 12 hours. Housed in a beautiful sleeve, the EP comes with a bunch of neat extras.<br />

Tracklist:<br />
1. Without Her<br />
2. Last One For The Team<br />
3. January Stars<br />
4 I'd Rather Not Remember <br />

My set got cut short, but here is the list as best as I can remember:<br />
<br />
1. Commercial Airlines<br />
2. Goodbye Oceana<br />
3. Isle Of Palms<br />
4 You Never Will<br />

A while back (like, 6 months ago) he wrote a great review of Sunbathing/Stargazing calling it his first EP love of the year. I should have posted this half a year ago, but like I said in an earlier post, I completely forgot I had a blog. I'm wondering what's the point anymore. You still seem so far away!<br />

Sunbathing/Stargazing was released in December 2013 on Shiny Happy Records in Indonesia. It moves away from the dreampop of Dreams You'll Never Find to a more surf-pop sound. The beautiful cover is an orginal art work by Madoka Kumangai. The CDs are sold out everywhere, but you can <a href="http://thearcticflow.bandcamp.com/album/sunbathing-stargazing" target="_blank">download your copy here</a>. <br />

The latest EP is now available from Dufflecoat Records. It took nearly a year to make. I started recording songs for this EP in January 2012 and most of the songs were radically different from what eventually became the four songs on the EP. "Friends For Summer" started as a bosso-nova style song, while "Just Say Hello" was originally titled "Terrible Friend." It took nearly 12 months to record because I sort of lost interest. I couldn't decide what style I wanted to have. I was nervous that no one would like it and I just kept second guessing myself. The more I did, the more depressed I became. I just knew I had to get it done before the end of the year and I just pushed and pushed until it came together at the last minute.<br />
<br />
Dreams You'll Never Find<br />
<br />
1. Just Say Hello<br />
2. Friends For Summer<br />
3. Cruel Kids<br />
4. Dreams You'll Never Find<br />

Doug from Indie Today asked me to contribute my thoughts about the songs from As Close To A Kiss As We Will Ever Be. It took a very long time to finally meet up, but it was worth it. <a href="http://indietoday.net/?p=497" target="_blank">Click Here To See The Article</a><br />

Doug is a long time fan and is a huge Horseshoes fan too. I think we may start a petition for Drew and Jacob to get that second Horseshoes album recorded.

Our first "real" video was done for the title track of our latest EP and showed up out of nowhere on the Internet in January of 2012.

My good friend Fernando Lopez (not him pictured above, that's me) lives in Brazil and lives a fabulous life. He has a music blog called Floga-Se. It's in Portuguese so I have no idea what it actually means. His English is better than mine. Last year he interviewed me (in English) and put it in his blog (in Portuguese). Here is your chance to learn a new language, or just get Google translator to get the gist. <br />

I had a great interview with Shaun and Misa from the wonderful blog Blueboy and Poppy Girl last fall. They asked some really good questions and have a lovely little blog. Such a cute couple. Click below to read.<br />

Our first interview was conducted in November 2009 by Todd from The Dumbing Of America. It was right before we put out the All The Way Until December album. This interview mentions early EP's and singles that were once available through Holiday Records, but have since been deleted.<br />
