Dirty Projectors and Deep Dish Pizzas
just a quick note to announce another canon blue show, this time in the windy city. it will be at the club ronny's with the band berry who are not to be missed....
and not that they need my help, but if you haven't checked out the new dirty projectors album 'rise above' you need to do so immediately. it was produced by resident genius chris taylor, who was also responsible for his band grizzly bear's 'yellow house' (as well as mixing our very own colonies). this is the kind of record that will destroy your head and rebuild it anew before you even know whats happening. this is one of 'those' records. on tour now....

Clash Magazine Review
Colonies has just been reviewed by the fantastic Clash Magazine in the UK. Here's a brief excerpt:
Canon Blue
Colonies
(Rumraket)
...Mixed by Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor and mastered by the ever industrious Chicks On Speed collaborator Cristian Vogel, James composed the large majority of this record on his grandmother's upright piano. It makes for an intriguing introduction that both encompasses James' warm bedroom electronics with a swelling, leftfield vocal that meanders in alt-country territory. The sound boasted is fresh, and suitably defies its sole artist origins. Canon Blue is a unique discovery and 'Colonies' is his brooding, breathtaking colossus.

the first canon blue shows went off without a hitch....well almost....whenever the power was working it was great. special thanks to everyone who came out and picked up a copy of the record.
now its on to the prepartions for the 'house and garden' tour, as we're reluctantly calling it these days...so far dates are in the works for lousiville, indianapolis, chicago, ann arbor, toronto, montreal, nyc, & philly....so stay tuned in the coming days for the official announcement.
in other news, just got an email about this from the walker camp. not for the faint of heart...
