STNNNG, “The Smoke of My Will”, out on October 26th.
September 1st, 2010
It’s been four long years in the making, but news from the folks over at Modern Radio is that the new STNNNG album, The Smoke of My Will, is finally finished and slated to come out on Tuesday, October 26th. The official release show will take place at Saint Paul’s Turf Club on Saturday, October 23rd.
Hannah Haugberg and Brian Severns collaborated on the artwork, and I think it looks awesome:
I’m relieved to see that this album will finally see the light of day, and that my drumming still appears on two of the 10 tracks – “New Black Hole” and “Two Sick Friends”. In a perfect world, this album would have been released in 2008 while I was still involved with the band, but I’ve already previously written about that. Bygones, eh?
All things considered, I’m looking forward to hearing the final recording in its entirety, and I wish the band and the label much success with this long-awaited release. If you’re reading this and are a fan of the band, here to listen to “New Black Hole” and pre-order a copy of the record.
Finally, one fun fact before I go: In the summer of 2008, this record was tentatively called Summer Bummer, and we did a little backyard photo shoot at Adam’s aunt and uncle’s house. If the record were to have come out then, this is what it might have looked like:
