Faulkner Detectives- ‘The Modern Handshake” Out Now! (via @lividrecords)

This is very surreal and I can’t really put into words how excited we are to have this EP become a reality. We’re really proud of these songs and happy to finally be able to share them with you. 

You can buy The Modern Handshake pretty much everywhere: Amazon, iTunes, our BandCamp page and via Livid Records, if you want a hard copy. You can also stream it on Spotify. Crazy, right? I don’t know what’s gonna happen when the actual CDs come in and I can hold it in my hand. So, yes. Buy a copy! Buy one for a friend! Write a review! 

I’ll have more thoughts on this later, I’m sure, when I come down from cloud nine. But this definitely falls under “dreams coming true” for us, I think, and I’m really lucky to have such great bandmates and friends. I love playing with this group and we’re actually getting better every time we practice and perform, so I can’t wait to see what we do next.

Speaking of, we’re playing Trash Bar in Brooklyn on Thursday, June 7. We go on at 9pm, show starts at 8. We’ll have copies of the EP to sell, so this’ll serve as our official “EP Release Party.” Swing by! Stay tuned to our website for more updates.

I’d like to thank Jamie Muffett for his patient and thoughtful production on the EP, Chuck and everyone at Livid Records for taking a chance on us and putting this record out, artist Jade Phillips for her amazing cover photo, Katie Muffett for her band photos, Threshold Studios for letting us record there, our practice spaces at Funkadelic and The Studio and all the friends, family and fans that have made it to our shows and helped us get to this point. We love you guys and hope to see you again soon.

Personally, I’d like to thank Eva for her love and support, my friends and family for putting up with me constantly talking about how freakin’ excited I am by this entire process and my battered Fender Telecaster for suffering through my strumming. And the cats, of course.
