Hi everyone!

A couple quick updates and a special goody for our backers today!

1) The survey is with Backerkit for review. That means (fingers crossed) that backers will be formally receiving a short survey this week to collect info like shipping address and t-shirt sizes. This is a big milestone in our release schedule and making sure we get 'Departure' and the other great items to you as quickly as possible.

2) We're into the very final stages of production. Everything is being mastered, the artwork is coming together, the liner notes and thank yous are lined up, and we've got the printers standing by. It's so exciting to see it all come together!

Now, if you're a backer of the project then you'll also be able to access and download the very first single off the album which will formally release in the next week - Haul Away Joe. This features some awesome samples from the great Leadbelly's version of the same song and a new, bluesy melody composed by our very own James. We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Fair winds,
James, Richard, Stefan and Tim
