Before 2011 officially wraps, I’d like to shout out some very dear folks who helped make everything possible: Alex Durlak; Vineet Shende, for single-handedly saving our tour; Joe Wallace, for the great time in Tucson; Eric Laurin, for all the usual stuff; Neil Wadhawan, for the next-level Bay...

My Favorite Music of 2011
///ALBUMS/// #1 - Shabazz Palaces – Black Up (Sub Pop) Seething, contorted hip-hop from Seattle of all places. Black Up was this year’s dark horse for me, inching unexpectedly into the top spot at the 11th hour. 2011 was a strong year for hip-hop but nothing came close to this record’s depth or scope. In the tradition of Cannibal Ox’s The Cold Vein, this is the kind of...

2011 Update
Hey friends, Hope all’s well wherever in the world you are. Lots of news to report here at Camp Cap! 1. NEW RECORD, NEW SCHWAG:
I figure since the Pitchfork review just went up, I can’t keep this cat in the bag any longer. After three years and innumerable setbacks, the second Capillary Action full-length, CAPSIZED, is finally available for pre-order exclusively through our Big...

Sep Tour
Hello friends! After a month of intense cult-like living arrangements and brain-busting/heart-wrenching/soul-squeezing rehearsals, we set forth tomorrow on that time-tested excursion that separates the wheat from the chaff, the adults from the children, the Lavernes from the Shirleys: TOUR!
I can’t even begin to explain how excited I am to share these new songs with you all. Lots of...

Spring Cleaning
Hey friends,
We’re still cleaning things up around these parts so please excuse the drab theme for now. So much to report! 1. If one were to compare the new album to an insect’s metamorphosis, it would probably be midway through its pupa stage right about now. I’m currently looking at 14 songs— a good chunk of barnburners, a few romancers, and several creepers. I...
