Prematurely listed as a huge rarities album, but a lot of the original recording sessions were missing and unfixable. So now, Drippers is a short collection of some of our most colorful stuff from the past year (with one really old one) that won't be appearing on their next album.
H.P. Lovecraft meets Devo on Ataxia, Circus Devils' new collection of moonshine revelries and musical trips by torchlight into the mist-shrouded fields and forests of Ohio (aka: land of mystery). Robert Pollard and the Tobias brothers treat the listener to an intoxicating blend of jagged, insistent rock and uneasy lullabies.
EMI Music Canada releases is it o.k on November 11, 2008, with a U.S. release (via Atlantic Records) scheduled for February 2009. Produced by John Alagia (Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Jason Mraz), she recorded the album in the Santa Monica studio complex Village Recorder, where her all-time favourite album, Fleetwood Mac's Rumors was recorded. "I was in Stevie Nicks' vocal booth with candles all around and stained-glass windows and mirrors everywhere. It was totally fabulous. I definitely felt the energy. I wanted to tap my veins into the walls, you know?" says Ryder. On is it o.k, Ryder is at times palpably sad, vulnerable and even confused, but always strikingly real and in the moment. Her immense growth as a songwriter is evident through out the album, especially as she is able to bring optimism and energy even to the record's darker moments. The first single "Little Bit of Red" grabs listeners instantly with its hook, but keeps pulling them in as it also has a lot to say.
