Apologies for the recent downtime. We had a little brouhaha with the accounting dept. which has now been sorted.

Thanks for many emails of concern. Updates will resume later on in the week.

Carrie recently had a chat with who other than Pitchfork discussing The Spells, her writing, acting and all other endeavors.
When the inevitable question about the possibility of a SK reunion popped up…

“Yeah, I don’t think we’re ruling it out. But it’s not going to be any time soon. We probably wouldn’t use the word “reunion” [laughs]. We would say that the hiatus is off. It’s just semantics, but yeah [laughs]. “Reunion” is a scary word. There’s some horrible connotations in the word “reunion” [laughs]. It involves a lot of, like, face makeup, and everyone commenting about how much older we look. It’s precarious: the longer you wait, I think it gets worse.”

I’ll take it.

The full interview can be read at Pitchfork.

Today Pitchfork have dropped word that Carrie is set to star alongside The Shins’ James Mercer in Matt McCormick’s debut feature film Some Days Are Better Than Others.

“Overall, I’d say that the film is about lonely people trying to create their own abstract forms of communication. You could call it a charmingly melancholy look at abandonment,” McCormick says of the feature. The film is currently in post-production and is scheduled for a fall 2009 release.

Matt previously worked with Carrie in the 2008 short film Light Tiger Eye also featuring Mercer, and of course directed the video for SK’s Jumpers.

Another Corin & Eddie Vedder collaboration! This time the pair feature on the John Doe, The Golden State EP on the track of the same name, The Golden State.
The EP is available for purchase exclusively from Easy Street Records.
