SUMMER UPDATES - getting married, making music, etc....



Hello all - just a few quick updates here on what various members of ISIS are currently up to...

First off, Aaron Harris is getting married to Alexandra LeTellier on August 14th - best wishes and big congratulations to both of them!

Bryant Clifford Meyer will be on tour with his other "instru-metal" outfit Red Sparowes  doing a 2 weeks of west coast shows with the mighty Boris soon, as well as a full headlining tour in the fall. More info can be found here.

Clifford also has a new Taiga LP coming out in September via Conspiracy Records called Taiga II - "Flora Chor." More info on this krauty ambient key-tar masterpiece can be found at here.

Last september Mamiffer began tracking material for a new album, and finally after almost a year of on-and-off work it is nearly complete and ready for release. outside of the core members (Faith coloccia and aaron turner) the album includes numerous contributions from a large cast of people starting with randall dunn who produced and engineered the album with assistance from mell dettmer. other folks whocontributed their time and talents include: don mcgreevy (master musicians of bukkake, ex-earth), eyvind kang, travis rommereim, joe preston (thrones, etc), sera timms (black math horseman), jussi lehtisalo and mika ratto (circle), aaron harris (isis), jessika  kenney, parvaneh daneshvar, timba harris (secret chiefs 3), brian cook (these arms are snakes, botch), and moriah neils. there's no set release date or title for the album yet, but as all the pieces come together we'll make the information available. in the meantime the mamiffer/oakeater and mamiffer/house of low culture splits are in the works and should be out in october/november on vinyl via SIGE (with a CD version of the HOLC split on utech).

all for now. stayed tuned for more updates on the future/final isis releases and related projects....
