The Season Standard http://www.theseasonstandard.com/blog Just another WordPress weblog Mon, 08 Jun 2009 03:54:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 en Let’s revive this site,… http://www.theseasonstandard.com/blog/?p=15 http://www.theseasonstandard.com/blog/?p=15#comments Mon, 08 Jun 2009 03:50:31 +0000 mathi http://www.theseasonstandard.com/blog/?p=15 …it’s been a couple of months and some things have happened, so it shall be this very day that I reawaken this piece of virtual fallow land… and so I call YOU, oh higher power of the metaworld internet, let my words be like water that fructifies this dry dead place, that from now on information sprouts perpetual to infatuate the promenader in their aim for precision.

What happened?
The last months we toured a lot through Germany and France, and apart from heavy material drawbacks (that could not be euphemized by the favorite TSS-Camp-Slogan “This only can mean that something great is coming soon” – cause there were just too many drawbacks*), it was a good time with very nice and extraordinary shows.
A second tour took place the last weeks with our label-buddies of CAPILLARY ACTION and it has been breathtaking from the beginning till the end. People, who missed those shows, do yourselves a favor and be there next time.

TSS-internal, since the beginning of the year we are working on and developing new material, that’s the reason why we are here, right?
There are some sketches and fragments for songs and with an optimistic attitude I act on the assumption that you can count on the second TSS-full-length in Summer 2010.

Apart from that, I’m psyched to tell you that our record will be released in Japan this year. More information about this very soon.

Finally, some opinions on “Squeeze Me Ahead Of Line” from the US-Press.
STAY TUNED – I WILL

* All in all two cars broke down within the first two weeks. The next week in Paris somebody broke into our van – the results were broken windows, stolen laptops and cameras. In the end on black ice I drove our car to afterlife-land.

P.S.: If you also think, that we should release our Debut-EP “Caudle Cameo” on Vinyl, give us money.

Recording for the new album is finished!

We had a great and exertive time recording the 9 pieces with Markus Reuter and Fabio Trentini in Hanover. The sound is simply amazing.

Right now our team faces the final touches on the mix before the whole thing will be mastered by Denis Blackham in Scotland.
(Yeah, the Denis Blackham, who worked for Led Zepelin, Jimi Hendrix, YES, Fennesz, Antony & the Johnsons and Talk Talk for example)

We are curious about the finished record, as we are simultaneously concentrating on the artwork (with swedish madman Semiotext), the live-visuals and the whole strange machinery.

The yet unnamed album will be released in the period between June and July 2008 by Discorporate Records and Unsung Records.

Stay attentive for updates.
Sincerly,

TSS

our EP “Caudle Cameo” (2006) has been released digitally by Discorporate/Unsung. You can download our four firstborn songs in almost every Download-Store.

Go and get them fast! They may be out of stock tomorrow (how funny)!

Right now we are facing the finishing touches on our full-length-debut with Markus Reuter. We are so curious to release the new material in summer 2008 and see what you think. We have the slight feeling that you might like it.

With love from Berlin/Hannover,

The TSS-Crew

In this period… until February/March we won’t play any gigs.

If you are interested in booking us, do it as if April 2008. Of course we want to play many dates in the release-period - between April and June 2008 (later of course many Festivals) - so feel free to send us requests.

Feels like the record will be HUGE…

Semiotext - the insane swedish artist, who is responsible for the artwork of our debut (July 2008 - still remember?), is going to have an exhibition near Berlin. Seems like he’s really on the go in the art-scene.

Feel free to look at those amazing pictures in real.
We’ll be there. So should you.

TSS
