We've been incredibly fortunate throughout. We've made great friends, shared the stage with incredible bands, worked with truly inspiring people. Beyond question, our greatest good fortune has been the relationship we've been able to maintain with our audience, particularly those who have followed the band through its various phases and line-ups. It's a corny rock band trope to extol the virtues of "the fans," but in all seriousness... The fact that our music genuinely has meant something to people, and that we have been able to get to know so many of those people (both in person and online) and learn about how they connected to our songs--that interaction became a lot more than just a way of connecting to our increasingly private public. It offered the rarest gift: an opportunity to learn what our own work actually meant. We're deeply grateful to those who know they are. Being in this band has been a long, rewarding experience, and without you, it would probably just have been long. We hope that the relatively small body of work we've left behind (a bit more than the Sex Pistols, a tad less than Prince) continues to find a place in people's music libraries. But regardless, it's a legacy that will always mean a lot to us. Thank you for listening.

The album will be available for direct download from our website next Tuesday, Sept. 27.
What are you waiting for? The downloads are available now at our Downloads page.
]]>Also remember that you can always order the album online at our online store; however, in the coming weeks we will also be making the album proper available for free on the Internet via Bittorrent (Sept. 20) and as a download directly from this site (Sept. 27). So even if you can't get a physical copy of the album, if you're reading this, you'll still be able to get the music in a couple weeks.
