One more year, one more nail-scratch on the prison wall: Entanglements tracking is finished, and now I suddenly feel the pressure to think of some song titles to replace the TBAs, TKs, and racial slurs. We've been working off and on for roughly six months (or two years, depending on how you do your math) and have less than 35 minutes of music to show for it--though to our credit(?), we do have some triple-digit, Corgan-thick overdubs to play with. If all goes as planned, the record should be mixed by the end of the month, with no particular release date in sight. You can read a more through version of this when the glossy pages and jewel cases are all cellophaned up, but I would like to give some preliminary thanks to our many totally too helpful and generous guest musicians, as we would have had no hope realizing this glorious mess without you. Thanks SO MUCH: Ki, Alex, Paris, Paul, Sam, Izaak, Morgan, Jonathan, Nick, Monica, Nelson, Lori, Beth, Jeff, and everybody else that I'm undoubtedly forgetting. JESUS, thank you. And thank you, Jesus.
More from the front as it comes.
With Love,
Zac Pennington

I can't tell you how mad I am that I'm unable to make it to The Artistery tonight, but! Best of luck and have more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Extremely excited for "Entanglements."

Posted by: matea at January 21, 2008 02:14 AMI concur with Stephen! A sneak peak of Entanglements would be absolutely delightful.
Posted by: Miles at January 22, 2008 08:54 PMhey, just out of curious-ness, will the parenthetical girls cover of OMD ever surface in some recorded form? it was just great live and it made me seek out OMD's records (which i have really enjoyed).
Posted by: matt at January 29, 2008 08:49 PMHey all-- The tracks are coming. Sooner or later.
Hey Matt--Actually, if all goes as planned, our cover of "Maid of Orleans" will be the b-side of our contribution to the David Horvitz Picture Disc Series, available via Aagoo Records as soon as we finish recording it.
i shot video of maid of orleans in albany, ny. it's them playing and some animals at a sad zoo.
just search parenthetical girls omd on youtube and i think it will come up.
Posted by: nick at February 4, 2008 05:21 AMYes, finally! Don't worry, Zac, some of the best albums were short ones :) Now let's have P-Girls do an East coast tour and shoot a music video around the NY dates!
