We are planning our 4th record as well.  http://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2020/02/03/seven-nines-and-tens-over-opiated-in-a-forest-of-whispering-speakers-willowtip/

It’s been a while since my last post.  Aside from radio silence on this page, we have been working hard behind the scenes arranging the release of our 3rd record.  We are signing to an excellent (understatement) American record label and will be announcing the signing within the next couple of weeks.  After that, we will be announcing a release date for the record (yes, they are pressing the album on wax) and a ton of other news.  We are going to gig the hell out of this record so if you’ve ever wanted to see us play live, get ready for your chance.  – Dave Cotton

Our 3rd album Over Opiated in a Forest of Whispering Speakers is nearly finished.  The final song is being mixed and mastered as this is being typed.  We will have all the release info, tour plans, and the first single as soon as humanly possible.  Until then, for fun, I included some texts below from friends that I sent some of the songs from the album as they were freshly mixed and mastered to see what they thought:

Things are starting to come together for our 3rd record.  We will have a single release date and a whole wack of other info for you very, very soon.  In the meantime have a peek at what Conrad Keely of Texas art-rock legends And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead came up with for our album cover.

We are mixing “Over Opiated in a Forest of Whispering Speakers” as this is being typed.  We cannot wait for you to hear it!  Lot’s of news, show announcements, and other stabs in the social media dark on the horizon.

We have dusted off some old songs (one of which has never been played live before) for tomorrow night.  We hope to see you there.

I did an interview with the Georgia Straight about our Boxset, Split with Heron, and upcoming 3rd record.

Behold:

Tomorrow night we will have our Cassette Boxset “Satisfy the Faction” for sale in addition to our brand new Split Cassette release with HERON

We recently recorded our 3rd record at Raincity Recorders w/Matt Roach.  The working title of the record is Over Opiated in a Forest of Whispering Speakers.

The tracklist is not in order but as follows:

1.  Sunshine
2. Edutainment
3. Fight for Your Right to Partial Relevance
4. Popular Delusions
5. Throwing Rocks at Mediocrity

We’ll be announcing a release date asap.  Those fans and followers who always wanted more singing in our sound should be happy with this new recording.

Thanks to Max Cayer and COUP SUR COUP records for their passion and drive in assembling the pre-order for our cassette box set “Satisfy the Faction 2008-2018.”  You’ll find every note we ever recorded in the set.  In addition we are gathering some old b -sides and live tracks as well.

You can pre-order the set at the bandcamp link below:

Holy hell, did we ever have a blast opening for Boston based prog doomers Elder, on August 10th.  The supporting bands Serial Hawk, Dead Quiet, and Bushwhacker were all stellar as well.

In closing, we are recording our 3rd record “Over Opiated in a Forest of Whispering Speakers” with Matt Roach starting Sept 23, stay tuned – Cotton / Seven Nines & Tens

 

Hey gang, please be advised that pre-orders for our boxset “Satisfy The Faction” will be live on Friday, August 10th.  A huge thank you to COUP SUR COUP RECORDS for making this boxset happen. Their love for our music is a huge inspiration for us.  This pre-order date just happens to be the day we are supporting  Boston progressive rock titans ELDER @the Astoria.  Rounding out the bill are Serial Hawk, Dead Quiet, and Bushwhacker.  Here is the link to the facebook event page:

In other news we begin recording our 3rd record “Over Opiated in a Forest of Whispering Speakers” with our boy MATT ROACH in September.  We have been swapping demos amongst ourselves for a few months now.  Every artist says this but our new record is far and away our best material.  Heavier, more streamlined, increasingly memorable, and completely calculated (of course).  The sound we have been making lately is a bit of a departure from the previous material but those of you following our career to this point will see and hear a logical extension of Seven Nines & Tens. We will be debuting the first single from the record soon.

Thanks to Micah Neufeld for taking this shot of us live at Taco Fest 2016!

Tons going on in Seven Nines land right now.  I’ve been talking to a really influential American artist about doing a split release.  Although the details are still being ironed out, if we can make it happen it’ll be some of our finest work and an exceptional release.

As it stands now I’m finalizing the release details with Coup Sur Coup records regarding our forthcoming box set “Satisfy the Faction 2008 – 2018.”  We will be having a pre-order for release and it will be live within the next 30 to 45 days.

Until then, don’t sleep on arguably THE show of the summer of 2018:
