The cover illustration for Boy From Black Mountain is by the great Carson Ellis from Portland, Oregon. Carson is known for her illustrations for children's books such as The Mysterious Benedict Society and The Composer Is Dead and her artwork for The Decemberists. She and her husband Colin Meloy (of the Decemberists) have a three-year old son Hank. Carson used the photograph of my grandparents' house pictured in the previous blog entry as inspiration for the house in the lower left corner. Boy From Black Mountain will be released September 29, 2009 in the US and Europe on Cuneiform Records.
Last
week we announced the street date for our forthcoming album Boy From
Black Mountain, September 29th on Cuneiform
Records. We are planning a big cd release show in Boston on Friday September
11 so you can get your hands on it earlier. We are now happy to present
the first single "The Life You Save May Be Your Own" on the MUSIC
page.
