i am pleased to announce that lies on the prize, the newest actual snailhouse record, will see it's canadian release in june on unfamiliar records. good vibes all around. the folks at unfamiliar have shown nothing but pep, and I think it's a good fit. I can't wait for you to hear it.
sappy records international corporation has put together a tribute to yours truly. this is probably the biggest honour imaginable. it hosts tracks by a whole slew of amazing artists - all playing snailhouse songs. as luck would have it, i'm touring at the moment, and snailhouse will be playing at the official launch tonight in sackville. my speech writers are busy.
later in the summer it will also see a vinyl release on saved by vinyl and a european release on german label mi amante. more on those later.
