Milemarker Touring In August and September
Catherine Lewis reports:
Milemarker has just released a six-song CD EP called Satanic
Versus on Jade Tree, half of whose songs were recorded by Steve
Albini, and the other half by Milemarker themselves with ProTools
(according to Albini, this is where the 'Satanic' part of the title
comes from). The EP contains a video for the song "New Lexicon" as
well as a few live videos and computerized files for two songs, for
those of you who wanna get your remix on. This EP will be released
on vinyl by the Czech label Day After on October 10th (presumably
without the videos). After the U.S .tour, Milemarker will be touring
Europe in October.
