This time from our friend Drew Citron. Drew, baby, we love you, but "standard jam band aesthetic"? Come on, you're not making us any friends with that one. The hippies read it and think "hey, man, there's no standard jam bands." Whereas, the people who we want to listen to us (and we ourselves) read it and think, "ugh, a jam band. Let's see what's on Brooklyn Vegan."
We propose an alternative:
"..."
Okay, so we have no handy genre classification for ourselves. We, like every other band in Brooklyn, would like to be considered on our own terms. I guess we always figured we'd just leave the buzzwords to the label people and the reviewers. Maybe we just need to get some label people.
Anyway, here's the review, which aside from that bone of contention is very nice:

We are not ungrateful- we know no publicity is bad publicity. And we still dig your voice. And yes, that is really us kicking a dumpster.
The CD release show is, by the way, in the works. It is tentatively planned for the 5th of june, which is a friday. Stay tuned.

Tracking
We are pleased to announce that My Sister in 1994 will be recording basic tracks for our new album, for which we do not yet have a name, at Saltlands Studios (http://www.myspace.com/saltlands) in Dumbo, Brooklyn. Our friend Jim Smith, the house engineer there, will be manning the board.
After that, we'll be heading to Wartburg, Tennessee to Donny's grandparents' cabin, to finish overdubbing and such. Wartburg is a real place, you can look it up.
We're planning on being done recording around the beginning of march or so, and the album should be out by mid-may. We'll put it on here next time we have a show.

Status...
...and an update thereof.
We are still here.
We are still rocking, in our rocking chairs of rock.
We are trying to figure out where and how to record basic tracks for our upcoming album, and once we figure that out, we will then do it. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
After that, we will go to Wartburg, Tennessee, to an ancestral home of Donny's, to overdub and basically go nuts.
After that, we will start playing way more shows. In the meantime, we will likely be blowing the windows out of the Paper Swan loft (as is our habit) this saturday night. Be there or be staten.
Word.
