I like Pantophobia's news. Don't know about his girlfriend.
Here is the info I have:
The band has been working in their recording studio w/ John Agnello, Aaron
Mullan and Mark Ibold.
They are about to complete overdub recording and start mixing this weekend
for their new record tentatively titled 'The Eternal'.
The album will possibly be completed by the end of this month for a possible
June 2009 release on Matador.
it is possible that the band will tour this June.
