Shadeaux Bros. vs. The King of Forever

I think this is our best overall album - or at least the best version of the form we were chasing since 2009. I also personally think this album marks the end of the Cows of the Roman Empire Saga (Jonathan may disagree, we usually do about our dumb bullshit).

One of the goals of this album was to end our time shenanigans and be able to move forward into the future with our next albums, timeline wise. Because of this we contended with a literal devil of time, and oddly edged into some strange and compelling musings on the purpose of Christmas, the ache of mortality, and general 'getting older' type shit.

The performance of the King of Forever by Jeremy Miller is one for the ages. His passages chill me to the bone to this very day. And every time I hear them, I think about the King waiting for us at the Eventual End, a curse we wrought upon ourselves.

Also, if we did nothing else on earth, we wrote Broccoli for Christmas - which still cracks me up, but is also probably the best glimpse into the actual creative partnership between Jonathan and me, caught live in one take.

ALSO - the first appearance of the phrase ' Shadeaux Public Radio' !
