Also, the track is off the new album which will officially be out January of 2012. It features Kate Rears Burgman, Mike Epstein, and the Gabriel Fry. Also TW Walsh (Sufjan Stevens, David Bazan, Ra Ra Riot) mastered it.

Official We Were Pirates Emergency Preparedness Kit

Hello friends,

We on the east coast have had a harrowing week of trials and tribulations with earthquakes, hurricanes, and such. So, I thought I’d do what I could to be part of the solution and provide you with some emergency preparedness info. As the hurricane approaches, make sure to keep an eye on the weather forecast and be prepared with the tools you need for survival. I have gathered a list of a few items that you will need if the worst comes and evacuation becomes necessary.

Official We Were Pirates Emergency Preparedness Kit Contents:

1. Food

 

2. Raft

3. Music

Official We Were Pirates Emergency Preparedness Mixtape:

1. Bjork – Joga
2. The Pixies – Where Is My Mind
3. Weezer – Surf Wax America
4. Simon & Garfunkel – The Only Living Boy In New York
5. Beta Band – Dry The Rain
6. Thom Yorke – And It Rained All Night
7. Buddy Holly – Raining In My Heart
8. Charley Patton – O’ Death
9. Dntel – Umbrella
10.  Styx – Come Sail Away

Here’s a link to the mix on Spotify. Dntel is not on Spotify though, so you’ll have to go here to listen to Umbrella.

And just a quick update on the record. I’m doing a few vocal overdubs this weekend and then sending it off to have it mastered. So, it is coming.
