Hello hello,
Here's one last update before 2011!
We have several releases and tours planned for 2011, and we'll officially announce all the pertinent information in early January. Besides new releases (3 of them in the spring), we'll be releasing Cinematique and From The Inland Sea on limited edition vinyl in February, and Black Paris 86 will be again available on CD in April. We are also putting out a benefit compilation album with many wonderful artists, including Helios, The One AM Radio, Gregor Samsa, Ef, pg.lost, Aucan, Caspian, Constants, and others, to raise money for the World Food Program. This is scheduled for a February release. We'll also be releasing a DVD with our live visuals and music videos, in a limited edition of 100 hand-made copies. You can expect this to drop in late January.
BIG BIG tour news to be revealed in January as well.
A new website is on the way too, which will have everything you need to know regarding our 2011 plans. Besides this, the best places to follow us will be here on our official Blogspot, Facebook and Twitter. Please don't rely on our Myspace page anymore as we will not be updating it frequently in the new year.

We are currently working on making all our releases available in FLAC and Apple Lossless formats. You can expect this to appear on our Big Cartel page in January.
Arms and Sleepers tracks off of From The Inland Sea now have a new home on iTunes. Click HERE to check it out.
And for the folks that like to shop on eMusic, Matador is finally back up and available for purchase there! You could click HERE for that.

There are still 10 days left to buy something from our Big Cartel online shop and have 100% of the proceeds donated to the World Food Program. And in addition, we're now doing a special holiday sale until the end of 2010! EVERYTHING IS 20% OFF; just enter the promotional code "JUCHE" at checkout to get the discount.
For vinyl lovers: both Matador and Black Paris 86 LPs are nearing their respective ends. Not that many copies remain, and are sure to go in the first half of 2011. If you'd like to secure one for yourself, we recommend purchasing it now (esp. with the 20% discount!). Matador Remixed LP is still plentiful, so if you'd like to do some holiday vinyl shopping, just click HERE.

If you haven't seen the latest video teaser yet, it is now on Vimeo! Watch it below.
For more Arms and Sleepers videos, check out our YouTube page.

Finally, we're still aiming for 4,000 likes on Facebook! Though it doesn't look like we'll be able to reach this number by the end of 2010, as soon as we do, you'll get a free, exclusive download of a new EP! So suggest our Facebook page to all your friends, and the sooner we reach 4,000 likes, the sooner you get free music from us!

Happy New Year everyone---see you in 2011!

12/10/10 update
It's the end of the week, how nice! Is there anything as good as Fridays, except for Thursdays when you don't work on Fridays?
Well, something good is the MUSIC AGAINST HUNGER fundraiser that we are doing through the World Food Program in order to raise $10,000 to fight global hunger. For 3 more weeks, 100% of the proceeds from our Big Cartel online shop will be donated to this cause, so if you want to buy a gift for someone or just simply help out, please head over to our store HERE. Alternatively, you can just make a direct donation (tax-deductible) HERE!
To make things even better, we're doing a weekend sale where you get high-quality mp3s of 9 releases for FREE when you buy any vinyl on our Big Cartel page. We'll send you the download links as soon as you place the order, and the vinyl will ship next week.

We also uploaded some pictures from our home studio to our Flickr page.
And here's some information regarding our January releases:
In January we'll be putting out 2 very special limited releases. The first will be a hand-made and packaged DVD containing a lot of our live visuals and music videos. The working title is "Preventing Lead Poisoning in Young Children: a DVD by Arms and Sleepers." It will be limited to 100 copies, hand-numbered, and all proceeds will be donated to the World Food Program. So, you can watch our visuals at home while your money is helping those in need. Pre-ordering will begin in a few weeks, and will ship in late January. Here's one of the videos that will be included on the DVD:
The second release will be the benefit compilation album, as part of our Music Against Hunger campaign to raise $10,000. We will confirm all the artists participating in this project soon, but there will be new/rare tracks by Helios, Gregor Samsa, Constants, Ef, pg.lost, and Aucan, remixes by The One AM Radio and Arms and Sleepers, as well as a live recording of a Caspian song. This will be a limited edition of 200 CDs, hand-made and packaged, and shipped at the same time as the DVD. Again, all proceeds will be donated to the World Food Program. More information regarding all this coming soon!

Finally, we are still trying to get to 4,000 "likes" (or fans) on our Facebook page by the end of the year. This will help us communicate easier and with more people regarding all the wonderful things that we have in store for you in 2011. And as a thanks for your efforts, we will release a free, exclusive Holiday EP containing all new songs. BUT, this happens only if we can get to 4,000!

Have a good weekend everyone!
