Hi, it’s been a while. Matt’s finally back from the epic David Bazan tour. Howard went on a vacation for the first time in 10 years. Bryan can now solve the Sunday Times’ crossword puzzle without breaking a sweat. It’s been a magical time.

Anyhoo, our song, “The Engineer” will be on the upcoming Matador Records compilation, Casual Victim Pile. That’s exciting, right?

We’re excited, you bet. It’s not everyday you get to work with a label whose artists (Pizzicato 5, MC Paul Barman, Chain Gang) you’ve relentlessly ripped-off for years.

There are 18 other Texas bands (including fellow Dentonites, the Bad Sports) on this thing. Every one of them is probably worth your time and devotion.

The release date is Jan 26, but you can pre-order it for super-cheap (on double-LP or CD) right now.
