Icarus Aquanaut: 5-piece to 4-piece
This isn't something we report lightly. We've had some lineup changes over the past (almost) 4 years of our existence. Moss was out of our live lineup for more than a year as he attended school in Alabama, finishing out his degree. Shortly thereafter, we found a drummer to fill in temporarily as Chance's life was also turning busy. For a short while there, the live lineup of Icarus Aquanaut was pared down to Seth and Chris (Halloween 2008 FTW). We've had a new drummer, Dave Blackburn, for over a year now. We have made some tremendous progress over the past couple of years on new songwriting, keeping to the generally quirky mixture of styles that we have always had.
It is with this in mind that we let it be known that the talented and beautiful Hananel Mavity will be moving on from Icarus Aquanaut to pursue other things. She has been a great asset to the band, and she will be missed. We will likely be working with her in the future and we wish her well in everything she does!
Recording: Japanese Theocracy
We have a total of 12 songs for this album, as well as a general art concept for it. We expect to do more drum recording this month and begin work on tracking over the next two months. We do not have a release date slated yet--we want this thing to be done and done right. We'll be posting more regularly on the blog as we get more things set in stone for the album.
Shows
For now, we do not have any new shows scheduled. We will likely plan out our summer show schedule at the end of May. We'll be taking a look at a few venues in Tallahassee, the Submarine in Thomasville, and some other shows in the southeast area. If you have any suggestions, feel free to let us know!
