>2010, Year of the Building
What does it really mean that it's 2010 other than no one can really say it's the new millenium for another 900 years, and most of us can wait for that. And furthermore, somewhat of a disclaimer for anyone concerned with how abandonbuilding operates. We work on a 50/50 potential basis, that is, there's a 50/50 chance something we plan ain't gonna happen. That in No mind...
Ghost and Tape will be released in early 2010, the music is gorgeous, you've waited this long, hopefully you'll make it for you. The wait has become of the mystery that LISP from flowtation addvice should make a video for a song on the album, thats kinda cool.?.
DoF - Suddenly Shifting Against The Sky, a brand new full length, shall be released by the kind people of P*DIS records in japan, who've helped us thusfar share our sounds with the other side of the world, from the very beginning, to whom we owe great thanks in the form of more good music. This DoF album confirms the love one has for it's balance, even with expectations one won't go astray. Thank you Brian.
Hopefully we'll convince Joe from Low In The Sky to let us release Woodland - Two note Wonders, which youll likely love.....
Lots of great stuff happening all over the world, we'll wait and clue you in as the fun experiences the moment. Blessings, Tidings.

In August we'll be releasing a new album from Set In Sand called Mid Summer At The Winters...

>ABR012 DoF - Rid The Tree Of Its Rain CDEP
July will bring with it a new release from DoF, Rid The Tree Of It's Rain... The EP is a really swell refresher course on what good music feels like. The 7 new songs travel mostly through vibrant instrumentations, and dabble in peaceful vocals, sharing space to become a near perfect summer segment. And just a heads up, later this year we'll be dropping his new full length, Suddenly Shifting Against The Sky. Word!

>ABRACSGROWSSIDEWAYS
> Hello, join us here at the new AbandonBuilding / ACrawlsPace. We?ve thrown a little paint there and here and built some weird sculptures from broken appliances and sawdust, then invited a lot of new music to fill up these refurbished rooms.
> Firstly relating with the current resonant climate of this domain, we?re going to be doing a lot of limited releases, and when we do they will come out on a leg of this building called ACrawlsPace. The ACrawlsPace catalog should be introducing a lot of vibrant new musical projects to the already endless ocean of sounds, as well as sharing more quaint collections from our favorites. (the stuff that changes us in ways that feels like growth) Another quite interesting aspect of ACrawlsPace is in the packaging, which should stray away from the standards previously explored on earth up to this point in time.
> And there?s a slew of Set in Sand goodies on the way. First is a short instrumental piece of experimental ambient works called Remembering Everything Seams Together, released in a canvas package with random stitches sewn into it. The music is far removed from the SIS we?ve loved for so long, and the soothing thing is, we love it just the same.
> SIS REST will be followed then by a more theatrical vocal oriented full length, Doubtfull Glass Of Water. DGOW explores the world of a shadow attempting to quench his thirst in reaching for a drink of water on the table, half empty, and half full. Its hand passes through in January 09.
> Sometime in the midst of all of this keep your ears peeled for SIS remixes, covers, and originals among collections on,,,
IVDT for a compilation called ?Before We Melt?,,,
Symbolic Interaction, a remix for Oba Masahiro,,,
Xynthetic, a remix on Phylum Sinter's From Unity To Segmentation / There's a Place about the experience,,,
and ACrawlsPace, VA ? A Monster Hatches An Egg.
> Color Cassette (offthesky/set in sand) has just released an energetic double 3? cd on Mobeer, a limited subcompartment of Europes Moteer. They will also be offering up a collection of slower more relaxed vocal material later this year from Autres Directions, called Forever Sparrow.
> Ghost and Tape will be sharing a lovely collection of songs with us. It is GAT?s first album and it?s a gem, oh what a wonderful place to go anytime, we?ve really enjoyed putting this one on while working on sculptures or collages. Look for Ghost and Tape sometime between January and February.
> And finally but not lastly, the shoots and giggles real life serious voiceable trio of Flowtation Addvice shares their sounds with the world in a collection of 8 stories called ?Terrain Clouds.? Something to do with a cloud of brain compartments in the head of a goat. TC will be Co-released with Japanese label Hue sometime in the beginning of 2009.
> Well that?s it for this season, many a decent listen to you all.
...and remember...
