SEPT 28 - OUT OF PRINT RECORDS AND SWEET MERCH *CHECK

Tour is on! We are getting the van fixed ASAP and its looking good. In better news, we are almost done with merchandise. Our own Drew Binkley, of Monkey Inc Design, has been cranking it out the past 3 days straight and it's looking great. Here's a tease of the some of the sweet jams we will have for everyone on tour.

ALSO we just got word from our labels *shellsmusic & futurerecordings that the how lonley sits the city reprint and the from this vantage vinyl are OFFICIALLY OUT OF PRINT and that our band is in possession of the last available copies ever (unless there's a copy at your local record store).

As of right now we don't have any plans to do another re-print of HLSTC and Future Records isn't going to reprint FTV in interest of a newer (hush hush) limited release we'll be announcing soon. So if you want to get a copy for yourself before we sell out of them on the road go ahead and order it directly from us via: theascentofeverest(at)gmail.com and we'll be sure to send you a copy and a postcard from the long winding road ahead.

Ascent of Everest Tracking Completed

Well it was a tall bill but we just barely scraped under the razors edge and the new AOE full-length is all preped and off to CA where it will be mixed and mastered by the very capable and talented jordan andreen. It's been a grueling month and a half here at meltface studios and there were times i really didn't think we could pull it off with the limited time and no budget going on, i didn't think i was going to be able to go home for xxx-mas or enjoy life, but we pulled it off (yaah!). further, i have to say this is the best record i've ever produced, rob says this is some of his best engineering work, and we can't wait for you all to here it. once the tracks are mastered and the artwork is done we expect to set a release date, probably here in the next few weeks. The record will be released on slick CD's by shels music and beautiful 180 gram colored vinyl with hand printed sleaves in a joint venture by futurerecordings\meltface all designed by drew at monkeyinkdesign. more announcements and pictures sooooon....

We All Inherit the Moon/Ascent of Everest, The - Split... Reviewed by: drunkwithcoffee (04/14/09)

We All Inherit the Moon/The Ascent of Everest - We All Inherit the Moon/The Ascent of Everest Split LP Record Label: Future Recordings Release Date: April 13, 2009 The latest Future Recordings project is one that redefines the theme of its discography. This time, the "post-drone" label has brought ambient masterminds We All Inherit the Moon and post-rock wizards The Ascent of Everest together in a seven track split that may very well set the standard for modern day music from the respective genres. The aptitudes of both acts join here to craft an album full of adrenaline rushes and unforgettable meditations. The first eighteen minutes or so of the album is inhabited by The Ascent of Everest's Godspeed You! Black Emperor-taught progressive indie/post-rock epics, complete with vocals, juggernaut crescendos and captivating gypsy-like string arrangements. The two tracks penetrate ample grandiose territories, at times quiet and beautiful and at times, soaring and completely worthy of a spot on a Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Each note flows flawlessly into the next and every instrument plays in a precise, yet emotional manner, creating an awe-inspiring atmosphere that can be quite crippling if unexpected. The incorporation of The Ascent of Everest into the split is really what stretches the label's discography; their music alone carries the monumental character necessary to accomplish such a task. Yet one must be meticulous in not forgetting to move on past the opening tracks' enchantment, as there is more to appreciate. Indeed, We All Inherit the Moon juggle the second half with equal dexterity and musical knowledge, evolving their strictly ambient-drone sound on their full-length 5 Song LP to include majestic cellos (as heard in “…and ever. Part III”) and other twinkling novelties, all the while retaining the concise attention span-keeping song structures the band excels in writing. The second half is really as ambitious as the first, though in a different way – the split allows listeners to track We All Inherit the Moon’s progression, which is noticeable as they refine their sonic character into more mature melody patterns and appropriately placed drones and buzzes. However, both halves boast intriguing first-rate definitions of the word epic, and with seven tracks of “all killer, no filler,” it cannot be emphasized enough how excitingly powerful this split is. I’ll leave it at “absolutely essential soft music record this year” and let the music do the rest. Recommended If You Like Godspeed You!
