we did 3,200 miles of fun in the last week..We played all over the Mid West and now we are back up here in the east where we are formulating a new plan of certain destruction. A coyote, who we have named the “Brush Wolf” has just started his nightly courting of my dog…he means to bring her to a quick and exciting death. wild,wild! there is apparently no love left in his heart.

“Caroline”

Hello from the woods!

theblakes — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:56:01 +0000

After a long tour supporting the release of Souvenir, we decided to take a break for a while and record another record! We headed straight for the woods and locked ourselves in a log cabin for the winter. With the quiet of the falling snow and a wood stove warming our bones, we embarked on the journey of writing, recording, and mixing a new record entirely ourselves. It’s been a beautiful and challenging experience. We’re really excited about all of our new material. We will be sharing some songs with you soon!

It’s been awhile since we’ve posted on the site, so I’d like to take an opportunity here to put up a few news items at once. For one thing, the video for Magic has been picked up by MTVU and is currently in rotation. Make sure to put in a request or two.

Also, I have yet to put up our contribution to uber-photographer Chase Jarvis’ Songs for Eating and Drinking musical shindig, which took place at the historic Sorrento Hotel in Seattle. Here it is:

Also, our likenesses appear in Chase’s new book, The Best Camera Is the One that’s With You, which features accomplished and handsome photos taken with an iPhone.

I also wanted to make quick mention of that fact that our songs have appeared in both 90210 and Jersey Shore in the past month.
