XMAS SONG FOR YOU FROM THE LOVE LANGUAGE "Gsus"

2010-12-23T19:30:00.024-05:00

FROM STU:

It may be late but it's just in time! Me and BJ holed up in his room yesterday and today and wrote and recorded this Christmas original. The rest of the band was out of town so we decided to include voicemails they left us. this also marks the song debut of our humble manager and mentor Geoffrey Sawyer. He's the dude that sounds like Barry White at the end.

Merry Christmas y'all.

I'm sure you all have been hearing rumors of what has been going on with The Love Language for the past couple months. Most of them are probably true. We have just completed our debut album for Merge Records, recorded by BJ Burton at Flying Tiger Sound. I couldn't be more pleased with the record and the fact that it was done in a month and a half is just ridiculous. It's very expansive and rich sonically and all over the board as far as genres. Some songs sound like Motown on steroids, some sound like orchestral My Bloody Valentine, and some sound pretty much like the last album. BJ did a wonderful job of expanding upon the sounds I was exploring on the first record and I'm just really, really excited. I can't wait for you all to hear it! It is slated for a mid-summer release date. The album will be titled "Libraries".

In other LL related news, the live band has undergone some changes. Josh, Tom, and Kate have gone on to pursue The Light Pines. If you haven't had a chance to see them yet go to their next show and get your mind blown by the best psychedelic space rock coming out of NC. They actually started the project around the same time that I began recording the songs that would become the first LL record. As Love Language gained momentum and more and more shows were booked they graciously put Light Pines on hold. After talking with Josh we decided to part ways so we both could pursue our musical ambitions. This freed me up to approach "Libraries" much like I did the first album. For the most part it was me and BJ in the studio multi-tracking like mo-fo's. And I love that. We had some help from Jordan and Missy (who are still in the band) as well. Not to mention a handful of other great guest musicians. BJ and I hit it off so well in the studio together we've decided to work on many more recordings together and he will be playing guitar in the new line up. For our upcoming shows and sxsw Justin Rodermond of fffever will be playing bass, maybe beyond sxsw.... especially since D'Arcy won't return my calls! We have a few regional shows coming up so check our calendar. T to the C to the muthafuckin B!!!!!!
