anyway the news i didn’t post here is that we have a new record coming out on 7/12. it’s called “I Never Said I Didn’t Care” and you can listen to the first couple songs and pre-order the digital version at http://cooloriginal.bandcamp.com/album/i-never-said-i-didnt-care

ok last thing – to celebrate the tour we did a collaborative dual music video with alien boy. you can watch that below:
and here’s alien boy’s half, for their song called “If We Don’t Speak” that i really truly love a lot. these videos were extremely fun to make and stand as a nice document of a beautiful group of people in portland that i’m lucky to call my friends.
cool original
