The reveal
Thursday September 29, 2005 – 3:43 amAs seen on the Drag City news page…
(…) Also on November 15th is the long-awaited and latest from Edith Frost, It’s a Game. Edith has been too long without a record, but she’s fixed all of that right now with this 13-track newbie, which should keep people happy until she makes another one — which, if there is an Allah after all, won’t take another four years. But if does, we’ll still have It’s a Game, which finds Edith singing her love and love-less songs in less crowded sound-pictures than she was on Wonder Wonder. Other than that, nothing’s changed: the songs are still hypnotic, the voice still arresting, the production still pristine and spacious. It’s a Game is a lovely wander through the emotional wilderness and another great entry from Edith Frost. Edith’s gearing up to support this record like she hasn’t in — well, four years — and the first step is a show on November 19th at Chicago’s very own Hothouse with a nice little band helping the songs to breathe with the life they so deserve. Don’t miss this first of chances to welcome Edith back! They’ll be lots more chances in the coming year, but you didn’t get where you are today by just waiting around, did you? When the time comes, get Frost!
Just posted all the album info to my discography. So exciting! :-)

Just wrote a very short blurb on my blog. Especially happy to hear "Playmate" on CD at long last.

Sweeeeeeeeeeet. I have a CD-sized hole in my record collection, and it sounds like this new album will fit there perfectly.

Far out! Can’t wait to spring open up the jewel box. By the way, what’s the photo on the cover? From a carousel?
October 7th, 2005 at 10:07 am
Yep, the carousel at Great America. The original is on my Flickr somewhere… I guess I should find it and put a note on it or something.

Excellent! My friend Tom says he’ll be stocking it at Encore sound & video here in Austin.
Now it’s a waiting game.
