Three years in the making, I Am Spoonbender releases their new record “Hidden Persuaders” today for free on their website. Go here to get the tracks. I pre-ordered the Hidden Persuaders book and received confirmation saying it would be shipping the end of October/early November. With the release of their record, that probably means they will be touring again sometime soon, which I’m really looking forward to. This song was recorded live at Pianos in New York during CMJ in 2003.

This track was recorded at Pianos in NYC during the CMJ conference in 2003. I Am Spoonbender had put a big piece of see-through plastic up in front of the stage before they started their set. They filled the stage area completely with smoke, started their set behind the sheet of plastic and all you could make out were the outlines of the band. After the first song, the plastic dropped and engulfed the whole club in smoke. Damn, I’m a sucker for bands that use smoke machines.
