Our new full length “Adore” is available now as a pay what you want download from our Bandcamp page and as a limited CD or cassette from our Bigcartel.

Adore & US Tour 2013

Mon, 31 Dec 2012 15:40:31 -0500

In February 2013, we’ll be releasing our third full length album “Adore”. Eight songs recorded between September 2011 and December 2012. Adore is a concept album about broken relationships and the resulting fallout and features guest vocals by Britty Drake of the bands Pity Sex and Procession.

Adore
Blue
Still For A Moment
Missing
Adrift
Sundials
Morgan & Frankie
What You Were

Adore will initially be released as a professionally pressed CD in 4 panel digipak limited to 150 copies and a cassette limited to 25 hand numbered copies with a vinyl release to follow later in 2013. Preorders go up in a few weeks after we ship a bunch of outstanding orders.

Additionally, we’re planning a record release show on the west coast in late March with an expanded lineup. We’ll be playing the album in its entirety for the first and only time. More details on this will follow in the near future if it doesn’t fall apart first.

In July and early August, we’ll also be embarking on our first major tour. We’re still seeking a drummer for these shows, preferably based around Atlanta or the surrounding area or someone who wouldn’t mind meeting us there. Tentative dates are as follows:

7/26 - Atlanta, GA
7/27 - Charlotte, NC
7/28 - Greensboro, NC
7/29 - Richmond, VA
7/30 - Philadelphia, PA
7/31 - Brooklyn, NY
8/1 - New Haven, CT
8/2 - Boston, MA
8/3 - Rochester, NY
8/4 - Cleveland, OH
8/5 - Ann Arbor, MI
8/6 - Grand Rapids, MI
8/7 - Chicago, IL
8/8 - Bloomington, IN
8/9 - St. Louis, MO
8/10 - Oklahoma City, OK
8/11 - Dallas, TX
8/12 - Austin, TX
8/13 - Houston, TX

Anyone interested in playing or helping set up a show in any of these cities, let us know. These are not finalized dates and we have plenty of wiggle room.

2013 is looking to be an exciting year for us and we hope to see a lot of you next summer on tour.

Gloomlights

Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:06:00 -0400

When Gloomlights was first announced in late 2010, we gave it a subtitle of “Parts I & II” hoping to be able to expand upon the concept of the album with further releases later. The subtitle was dropped before the release, but we kept the idea around (Everything Reminds Me Of You is Part IV, for example). With this, we complete Gloomlights with the last piece of the era.

Originally released by Music Ruins Lives exactly a year ago today (10/31/11) and sold out in preorders, this album has not been available in a physical format AT ALL since the initial 56 copies. Additionally, the Music Ruins Lives issue was missing a short DVD created just for the first pressing that has remained unreleased to this day, included in this set for the first (and last) time.

Additionally, we’re also including what we think is the centerpiece of the set: Gloomlights Pt III. An hour+ long new album constructed from the remains and shards of unfinished, forgotten and lost tracks from the recording sessions. These will not be rough demos. Every track will be completely finished with vocals and proper mixing/mastering.

We’re never making more copies of this. These 25 copies are the final chance to own Gloomlights in a physical format barring some sort of miracle/Music Ruins Lives reissue.

Packaged in a screen printed 7” foldover jacket with full color insert.

Disc 1 & 2: Gloomlights Pts. I & II
Original untouched tracklist from the first pressing. No remastering, no remixing.

Disc 3: Gloomlights Pt. III
Over an hour of unreleased material that we’ve finished up and prepared just for this release.
1. Scene (Original Ver.)
2. Ghost (Original Ver.)
3. Clouds
4. Bright
5. Despair & Consequence
6. If/May/Trust
7. Consume
8. Nameless
9. Foggy Smiles
10. Highroad
11. I Miss You, You Know
12. Gloomlights (Original Ver.)

Disc 4: Rainclouds Over California (Pt. 2)
Short live DVD originally intended to be packaged with the Music Ruins Lives issue of Gloomlights. A companion piece to the Rainclouds Over California DVD with full songs instead of clips.
1. Gloomlights Intro (San Francisco 7.15.11)
2. Rainclouds Over The Remains Of Hope (Livermore 7.16.11)
3. Joyless (Davis 7.17.11)
4. Variations On The Theme From Top Gun (Davis 7.17.11)
5. Scott Pilgrim vs You (Livermore 7.16.11)
6. Little Fury Things (San Francisco 7.15.11)
7. Passing (Davis 7.17.11)
8. Shift (Repeat) (Davis 7.17.11)

We’re taking preorders for these now despite a January release date to help generate some extra funds to complete some of the more expensive bits of Adore (mastering & production, namely). As a result, these will NOT ship with the upcoming DVD sets and will NOT be in your hands before the end of the year.

Order here: http://airs.bigcartel.com/product/gloomlights-parts-i-iii-preorder

Additionally, everything on Bigcartel is on sale right now. $2 off everything except the DVD set, which is a whopping $10 off.

Under Radiant Gloomlights 2xDVD/3xCD

Thu, 13 Sep 2012 15:45:46 -0400

In August we performed the longest string of shows we’ve ever done as a band. At only 6 shows, this may not seem like a larger number to more regular touring bands, but making an Airs tour happen requires a lot of planning. More than the usual band. Last year, we had wanted to put out a DVD that documents this somehow. A document of the first time we were actually able to perform live. Unfortunately, lack of and low quality footage prevented this from happening.

This time we thought ahead. With 19gb of video and 6gb of audio by the last day of the tour, we assembled a proper live DVD/CD set featuring over 30 tracks culled from rehearsals, live performances and demos and two DVDs containing a “documentary” and complete, unedited live show.

Includes two DVDs (one regular, one 3”) with tour footage and three CDs of selected tracks from rehearsals and live performances, along with two demo versions of Adore songs. Packaged in a clear 5 disc DVD box with photo print inserts. Limited to 10 copies.

A digital version is also available for a minimum of $7 that includes 31 tracks from the physical set and both DVDs in higher quality 720p encodes from the HD masters.

DVD-1:
“Under Radiant Gloomlights” Tour Documentary
* Footage from the first 5 shows on the tour plus rehearsal footage and other stuff, narrated by Aaron. A commentary track with thoughts and stories from both of us will be included as well.

DVD-2:

Dates have pretty much been settled upon for our 2012 live shows. In early august, we’ll be performing a run of dates on the west coast in support of Gloomlights, followed by (hopefully) some east coast dates in very early 2013.

We also are about to put out a new EP entitled Everything Reminds Me Of You. the first press is sold out, but a second run will follow in January. It’s a companion piece to Gloomlights and falls in the gap between the two discs.
