Announcing "Promise Land", the long awaited follow up to the much acclaimed CD "weight of being" released in 2003. With a new approach in energy, production and instrumentation - Ezra Thomas carves a beautifully intimate landscape of melody, balanced with passionate grooves and lush vocal harmony. Much terrain is covered in this project, (as usual with the ever curious band) from the ironic bouncing pop of Big Balloon, through Galveston's driving reflection of lost love - to the encompassing raw emotion of Suicidal Teeth; there seems to be no niche to place ET, and on Promise Land, they revel in this freedom.
