Black Southeaster is to be released through Jaunted Haunts, a record label known for it’s fiercely independent musical repertoire. The album reflects the band’s harder edge and also seems to have more of a jazz influence if those who’ve heard it are to be believed. The recording process was also a step up from previous albums. Produced by Dirk Hugo and tracked at the new Sui Studios, the tracks have been quite heavily edited and added to - something the band as improvisors have not done before.
