Apparently while Woodpigeon was in the studio making Die Stadt Muzikanten they were also quietly recording something else. From their blog:
"14 songs completed during the recording of die stad, some of which date back to 2005, and others which were recorded the day they were written in 2008. every copy's been hand-built, and we've done up 200 special-special-editions with hand-stamped covers, and 800 special-editions with cover art by our grand designers sing statistics. the record features appearances by dillon whitfield (of raccoon and jane vain + the dark matter), mt. royal, the neighbourhood council, garrett mcclure (of the summerlad), and alberta's best-named pedal steel player, brooker buckingham. we're releasing this one all official-like on 1 august 2008 with a release party at broken city with our pals kris ellestad and the neighbourhood council. you'll be able to pick it up at indie record shops in calgary, at all of our shows (well, until they're gone, natch), and via our website woodpigeon-songbook.com."The band also reports that they are releasing the digital version of their new album as a "pay what you want". The full album can now be heard on last.fm and the lyrics to the new album can be found on MySpace.
