Update- tickets selling really fast

So a good friend of mine wrote me today and said she got a ticket for our show at Carnegie Hall w Band Of Horses (June 11th) and they didn't seem to have many left. Not sure how tickets for the other shows are doing, but in general it seems like time is of the essence....

Ticketing Info for shows with Band of Horses

We'd love to get as many Arbouretum fans as we can at these shows! They're all pretty likely to sell out, so it's probably best to buy tickets in advance.

Please click here for Ticket info. Most shows have either just started selling tickets, or are about to.

Human Bell on the Oscars


So apparently Human Bell was played on the Oscars last night for like three seconds. Daniel from Arbouretum texted me about it, then just to make sure, I emailed Dave at Thrill Jockey, who wrote back and told me that Jamie from Thrill Jockey had texted him about it. I wasn't watching it myself, but it does sort of make sense, because we had a song used in a documentary short that was played on HBO. So I guess this documentary short was nominated for an Oscar...or some shit to that effect.
Pretty sweet.

Splice Folk Mix


This just went up. It features that version of "Two Soldiers" I posted the other day, a song by Arbouretum guitarist Steven Strohmeier, Walker & Jay, Phosphorescent, Noble Lake, Wye Oak, and a lot more. It's all old folk tunes and free to download. I haven't heard most of it yet myself, but am eagerly looking forward to it. Check it here.

False Spring


The first song from our forthcoming release Song of the Pearl has been posted today on Stereogum. You can listen/download here.
