This special edition B-sides of sorts is called "Of Epic Proportions" and is a closing thought to our record released this past August 2010, "The Disaster."  It is only available digitally, accompanied by a large screen printed poster, designed by yours truly. 

A little thought about each track:

Howling at the Moon// This is one of our new favorites to play live with layers of vocals and the thought of a werewolf being chased by the sun. It has a hint of the Orient with a hammer dulcimer played by our violinist Ben and wind chimes played by our booking agent and friend Jay Williams.

God and Me REMIX!!// As a team we put the opening song of our last record, God and Me, in a blender and poured out the goodness in a completely new tray. We love experimenting with braking up former melodies and creating tension using a new spin on elements that were once familiar to the listener. 

Animal// One of the first songs we wrote as a band. We love the gang vocals at the end of this one. It is sassy while exploring the world of a woman's need to be known. 

Casualty// Formerly called "Soldier Boy," we really explored new avenues with this one while we were in the studio. It expresses the hurt of a soldier away fighting a war and a mother's heart about the matter. Symbolic of living in a world that makes it easy to wonder what we are doing here, and where is God in it all.

Little Baby Sister// This is an acoustic song that reminds Kelsey and Gabe of the early years of the Kopecky Family Band. Sitting around with acoustic guitars and harmonizing in an open room to hear the organic echo of tile and wood floors. It's sweet and simple.

DANA GAVANSKI - How Much Is Enough?

1st single from my EP, ‘fragments’.

lyrics:
fashioned your ghost
with my breath
the winter air
the perfect punishment
tried to tell you my regrets
were poisoning my head
but before i could, you left

sought some refuge
in my bed
where your pillow
lay beneath my head
& although it didn’t
hold your scent
i don’t know
it just helped
to keep me warm

found a letter in the drawer
i couldn’t tell if it
was even yours
spent a minute
on each word
& did my best
to get every
cadence right

& it hasn’t sunk in yet
kept all my receipts
in case you want
to take me back
but for now
i’ll keep my head
to the ground
& i’ll count each second
i’m awake

Asthmatic Kitty Records is an independent record label that was co-founded by Lowell Brams and his stepson, singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens, in 1999. Since its founding, AKR has released albums by a variety of artists, including Lily & Madeleine, My Brightest Diamond and Helado Negro, and is currently home to Sufjan Stevens, Angelo De Augustine, Denison Witmer and The Welcome Wagon. 

Asthmatic Kitty was named after Sara, an orange and white tabby who wandered out of the woods pregnant and starving near Holland, Michigan in 1994. For fourteen years she brought joy as a beloved friend to Lowell, enjoying a happy life despite her initial hardships. Her asthma improved after moving west to New Mexico and Wyoming, where she lived out her days as an asthmatic kitty in name only.
