ALBUM SPAM AHOY: We put The Dignity of Man up in full on SoundCloud in case that’s how you prefer to see/share it, if you care about seeing/sharing it. If you want to buy it, it’s available at http://theseestates.bandcamp.com in digital and vinyl editions.
A couple of things spurred this on. First, there's now an extremely positive writeup on the record from Pat Book over at Sound Salvation Army. Pat writes that the chorus of "Stripes of Faith" brings to mind "Sloan, Replacements, and Hüsker Dü records that seem to have influenced these young fellows," that the record "boasts propulsive guitar/bass/drum arrangements that show off plenty of creative spirit," and that "there is a rough-hewn and caustic veneer on some of these songs but the honesty, insight, and occasional ignobility of Cameron’s words make them something approaching masterpieces, each worthy of being paid some attention." We're all genuinely, sincerely touched that anyone would actually like this record that much. It's terribly gratifying, and also a nice reminder that our record actually exists, whoops.
Second is that John wound up on SoundCloud thanks to hearing about the really cool Leverage Models debut LP, which is up there in its entirety. If you're anything like him and you're trying to keep your resolution to go to the gym once in a while for chrissake, then his advice is to get the Leverage Models stuff onto your whatever and jog along to the jitteriest new-new wave this side of More Songs About Buildings and Food.
Anyways. Our thing is now on SoundCloud, is the thrust of this post, for all of you SoundCloud fans out there. Sadly there are no tremendous drops on our record for you to annotate but such is the way of the world.
