Bon giorno!

A couple quick things...

*The new Fulton Lights EP, 'Healing Waters,' is well into its 2nd
edition right now and will probably sell out pretty soon, so get yours
post-haste if you haven't already!  Chop chop!  www.catbirdrecords.com/csp_009.shtml

*A couple of shows coming up, including a great one in DC this coming
Tuesday at the Black Cat!  Come check us out with Title Tracks (x-
Georgie James, Q & Not U), and Andalusians.  $8, 9pm, we're up first.
NYC, save Nov 7th for us, we'll be dragging hell's army behind us.
Us?  Yes, us.  These shows will be band shows, no beatboxing (sorry).
I picked up a Tammy Tuck (Hey Arbore) and a handful of dudes who you
might recognize from Statehood and/or The Dismemberment Plan, and
bribed them all with donuts.  Come see us, bring more donuts.

*Have you found us on facebook yet?  Do it.

lists are so last millenium.  No, we're not on Twitter, our attention
spans exceed 140 characters.

Great success,

The cognoscenti on 'Healing Waters':

"In the ongoing, lopsided battle between Washington, D.C.'s and New
York City’s respective music scenes (a battle the latter isn't even
aware exists), the District has recently won a rare victory: Earlier
this summer, Brooklyn’s Andrew Spencer Goldman—the mastermind behind
one-man-band Fulton Lights—relocated to the D.C. area...

Imagine if Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock produced a few songs on Beck’s
Sea Change and then Tom Waits and Brian Eno stepped in to add some
texture—and it all worked. Healing Waters is a six-song landscape of
ambience, hollow spaces, and ghostly vocals...." --The Onion AV Club
**

"A sea-change, a vaulting forward in the songwriting of Andrew Spencer
Goldman. He has been a master of sound for as long as I have been
listening, but on Healing Waters the songs-as-songs have more
substance. These are not in any way "soundscapes" - they are tunes. In
places they recall the Flaming Lips' basement anthems, or Stars'
bedroom warnings. But these are just touchstones; "Monsters We've
Built" is so much noisier than that. There's the crash of demolition,
the shriek of tearing metal, an apocalyptic roar. The sound of
something ripping through its old skin and taking a deep, deep breath.
(Also, he covers David Byrne's "Glass, Concrete and Stone"!)"--Said
the Gramophone
**

"Downright Springsteen-ian in the cloak of its grandeur...colossally
anthemic, uncritically hopeful..." --Cokemachineglow
