Ecstatic to shout from the internet rooftops that I have an album coming out in less than a month! Onze Pedras will hit the world on September 14th, 2010. I think I’m safe in saying that I’ve never worked on anything so intensely in my life.

I collaborated with seven of my favorite musicians on the planet, recording in New York, Tokyo, Dallas, and Chicago. I also had the incredible good fortune to record and mix with John McEntire on the hallowed grounds of Soma Studios. I’ve been so influenced by John’s legacy, it was dream come true to work with him. Likewise, there are so many gifted people that played on Onze Pedras that it’s difficult to know where to begin in conveying my respect and thanks.

David Daniell – electric guitar
Nori Tanaka – drums & hand percussion
Matt Leer – electric guitar, baritone guitar, electronics, & synthesizer
Jaimie Branch – trumpet
Antonio Carella – electric guitar
Bob Jones – viola & double bass
Daniel Huffman – electronics

It was a true pleasure to work with this talented group of friends. They offered an immense sonic palette to work with, and I really appreciate their trust in letting me chase that soundtrack in my head.

I should give a huge shout out to Tall Corn Records for all their support and vigilance. There is no way that Onze Pedras would have ever been realized without their hard work.

Here’s a list of websites that have reviewed the album or tracks. Many of them also have mp3′s for your listening pleasure. Lord knows, it’s really difficult to write articulately about music so I wanted to say thanks to all these folks for taking the time to listen to the album and write about it. I’ll hopefully add to this list if more reviews come in.
