Other news.

We have a new record in the queue - here’s the first track “Hang Out On the Bottom.” Don’t ask us when we’re gonna release this thing - like the track, it may just be randomly :)

Hang Out On the Bottom by Schooner, released 31 December 2020 You sit down & watch your eyelids; scented liquor in your hair. Hang out on the bottom. Hang out where you can. All about are stomachs, lungs, & mouths; cybernetics, broken eggs. Make haste to the bottom.

Reid has a new project called Sun Studies, which was announced in conjunction with the 2018 Hopscotch Music Festival in Raleigh. Here’s the video from that set:
