Not Waving But Drowning: egg beaters, angklungs, and accordions

Hello BML community -

Pinky here, excited to report that Not Waving But Drowning just released our brand new record! We in NWBD are firm believers that more is always merrier, so we brought along plenty of things to bang on when we headed up to a candy-striped cottage in the woods to record our latest album, "Processional". We made a joyful noise with violas and vibraphones, banjos and bones, trumpets and tamburas, mandolins and musical saws, spoons and Stroh violins, guitars and glass bottles and garbage cans. The giant turtles in the neighboring pond appeared unperturbed.

Catskills

Not content with merely banging on inanimate objects, we also corralled/conducted a chorus of forty friends back home in Brooklyn to add to the recorded fanfare. (Whiskey may have been involved.)

You can click here to listen to "Processional" and catch us at 2 upcoming shows:

May 12th at Drom (with Copal and Joro Boro)

May 24th at Le Poisson Rouge (with a reading by Emily Rubin)

Woo!
