Elastic Bands Exercise

‘Exercise’ opens with a deep breath of a drone, cracking the seal of a window as you take in the day’s first breeze. As the diaphragm of the drone rises and falls, the first of many lasting guitar structures on ‘Exercise’ cycles around a chiming piano. The piano motif embodies the nature of Vettraino’s process making ‘Exercise’; played and recorded during an idle moment at Jamdek Studios, it’s these usually inconsequential minutes, not redeemable for much more than a dead-eyed stare, that Vettraino has threaded into a cohesive musical drift.

2005 European tour edition of the album will be available as a limited 2 CD format with wraparound sleeve. The bonus disc includes six exclusive tracks recorded live in Atlanta this year. The disc showcases tracks from all the last three albums, including 'The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret', 'No One Knows', 'Little Sister', 'In My Head', 'Regular John' and 'Song for the Dead'.
