during the days leading up to america's feast-day, peyton tochterman wrangled the boys in the hoods into crystalphonic's austeerie supraterranian caverns to record the latest 'high society' album. we hog-tied and wrestled fifteen or so songs to the ground and the initial fruits of our collective labor sound delicious, if i might synaesthize a bit. featuring brian caputo--drums, darrell muller--bass, peyton on guitar and vox, andy thacker--mandolin, sam wilson--electric guitar, and this bloggarhiast on accordion and organ, this latest recording is a prosaic mosaic of timbres and tones that sounds by turn jazzy, folky, rocky, and rolly. the whole project, engineered by 'stereo' jack grey, features some of the most incredible, spontaneous and extra-sensory perceptive musicians i've ever had the privilege to work with. we'll be whiddling and wheedling in the coming weeks to get all the ancillary parts down, but i tell you, it's going to be a tremendous album. look for it in stores or coming live to your local den of iniquity in the early spring as well as some exciting summer shows. i will be recording some songs of my own in the coming months for a cd to be released in march. in the meantime, here's where i'll be, when:
