Inlets would like to announce, at long last, that a new record awaits its release. Inter Arbiter will become available April 20th via Twosyllable Records, with wondrous artwork by Ben Tousley.
Stereogum has just premiered a piece off the album called "Bright Orange Air," which we encourage you to investigate HERE, featuring Nathan Lithgow on Bass, Michael Chap Resnick on Drums.
This will be a busy year for Inlets, with a new record, with tours, videos, and more. We invite you to keep at least one eye peeled.

News while hibernating: we've managed to play some shows and I've helped play on some friends projects -a track with My Brightest Diamond for the Dark was the Night compilation, and some woods for DM Stith's wonderful Heavy Ghost.
But we're on track to finish the album soon.
In the meantime, please enjoy this perennial favorite

News about the album in progress: Stereogum premiered a new track, Your Good Arm. It features help on Drums from Michael Resnick and Zach Condon on brass. Thanks to Sam Bair for tracking drums, and to Nathan Lithgow for sitting around.

News about a CD Album Project:
I received some odd spam letter, a portion of which is depicted below. It seems to be some ruse to convince arists to give up some of their songs for the hopes that it might be rerecorded by heartless studio musicians and included in some lame compilation, likely sold in drug store bargain isles. 
But the prospect of being on a CD Album Project is titillating.

Tangential rambling: I came across this site while doing some amateur research on the Krakatoa eruption. It's pretty incredible: the cataloguing of minute details and exchanges at high school shows, of notes from enamored fans and lovers, the set lists. Make fun of it for second, but I dare you not to be impressed with its earnestness. If this were all Inlets is to become, then we would only hope to be as thorough and religious about it.

After completing my EP a bit over a year ago, I've been trying to discover what to say next. Trapping information, and being capable of thinking the notion of worth into a fairly frictionless circle, 2007 left me short on the new album.
For some reason I was able the other day to write and track what will probably be the closing piece on the new album while inspired by the picture below. My friend Erik arranged and shot it on his way home in August. I won't tell you why it worked for me, except to say that sometimes we like things, and explaining is less interesting than looking.
Consistently generous friends at blogotheque.net have included the EP in a best of '07 list, despite that Vestibule came out Thanksgiving of '06. They are that generous.
In posting about Vestibule, they included a scruffy cover I did of one of my favorite songs in recent memory, Department of Eagles "Deadly Disclosure." Appropriately I recorded the cover while the nerves in my arm were seething with fury, ravaged by the stress-enduced shingles virus. I was home from work, sick with big life-questions. I was high on vicodin, and my arm felt like fire.
While this sounds like a Cormac McCarthy novel, it was instead a gift to my friend Fred of Department of Eagles for his birthday (per his encouragement).
Since it may be few moments until Inlets releases something formally, I may as well share this virus with you. To listen, click on the picture of Daniel Rossen, face down in the carpet with sitar.
