Inner Banks: Songs From Disko Bay officially due out Sept 15!

We’re dotting a few i’s still, but the album is basically done and due for release this Fall.

It’s been a long time in the making but you know how life gets in the way…

The last few months have been good fun and intermittently lots of work (but mostly just waiting around). We mixed the record over several months with Hugh Pool over at Excello Recording in Williamsburg, and had it mastered with good friend Arthur Winer at Canaveral Skies (now in Pasadena, CA, but once long ago based here in Brooklyn). Mike Mozer at Interspace Station is helping us finish up the design.

Thanks so much to those guys– and to the rest of you: please stay tuned for further release info!

Arliss Parker: NPR feature and rising up CMJ radio charts

dagrecords — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 23:00:41 +0000

Good things happening in the world of Arliss Parker these last few weeks. A few highlights:

NPR’s Second Stage featured the group in one of its podcasts, and you can read the accompanying review here. (“…Handsome Like a Lion offers a brief escape from the real world. And without any lyrics to interpret, each song’s setting can be decided upon by the listener. So while the digital pitter-patters of the EP’s loveliest song, ‘Taken to Antrim,’ can conjure up the warmth of a summer picnic, it can just as easily evoke raindrops on an autumn day.”)
CMJ‘s top 200 radio charts found the CD at #81 last week, and both the chart and number of spins has increased each week thus far.
January 9 marks Arliss Parker’s return to Pete’s Candy Store, Brooklyn, for those of you looking to hear the band live.
