So as you can see, the new Bon Voyage record has moved from being tentatively called “Lies”, to being definitely called “Lies”. As you can also see, the album has a stellar seductive cover. This is the most seductive sensual cover I’ve ever seen Tooth and Nail put out. If you’re wondering where I found the cover someone on the Velvet Blue Music Message Board was checking out the Invisible Creature Blog, and found it.
Speaking of which, that message board is quite the interesting place to hang around. Check it out! Jim and I are on there as happinessiseasy and lfh respectively. Send us private messages and say hi!
Semi back on topic, Invisible Creature is the studio that is also doing artwork for the new Joy Electric album, “My Grandfather, the Cubist”. It’s run by brothers Ryan and Don Clark who were in the Tooth and Nail hardcore band Focused, then the Solid State (Tooth and Nail’s hardcore label) band Training for Utopia, if I’m remembering my history correctly. The Clark Brothers used to run Asterik Studios who did tons of album sleeves for Tooth and Nail, including Starflyer 59’s “Talking Voice vs. Singing Voice” and Joy Electric’s “The Tick Tock Treasury”, as well as the album sleeve for Funeral for a Friend’s “Hours”. Asterik Studios has now split into two different studios: Wonderful Union and the aforementioned Invisible Creatures.
Random asides aside, there’s more yummy Bon Voyage info to feast upon. Here it is, straight from Bon Voyage’s Myspace Blog:
“The new album “LIES” is completed and scheduled for a release date this
June on Tooth and Nail Records. New photos have been completed, and the
artwork for the record is currently underway. The myspace page will be
going thru an overhaul with new photos, new music, and release
information…please check back periodically as we are hoping to have
the new page up here in the next month or so.”
June can’t come soon enough, not to mention a tracklist, and some new tracks to listen to!
