Andrew and Rick have each released new solo albums in 2008.
The new release by Rick Cuevas is We Got Stories, his 12th solo album since he started doing solo projects in 1985, on which he plays all the instruments, writes and sings all the songs, and generally does everything. Desrcribed by listeners as "melodic and beautiful, We Got Stories explores Rick's propensity for pop song structures cultivated from decades of Beatle worship. The album is available from CD Baby.
After One AM is tthe 2008 CD from Andrew Lawrence Jackson. Released in January, the album is available from iTunes, Legal Torrents, CD Baby, and Last.fm. A video is in the works for the song "I Hope We'll Be All Right." Filmed in San Francisco with a borrowed car, a borrowed sketchpad, and a borrowed camera, the video focuses on Andrew's search for the lost bunny of his forgotten past -- or something like that.
Another 2008 solo project for Andrew Lawrence Jackson, Disintegrated Hits - Ten Unexpected Cover Songs, was posted for free audio streaming via his artist page at Last.fm in July. The CD is not available for sale anywhere, and Andrew won't be publishing it as an official release. Andrew covers songs by The Flaming Lips, Wilco, Cat Stevens, Aimee Mann, Sparks, Grandaddy, Randy Newman, Brian Eno, I'm From Barcelona, and Beck — all in his own inimitable style.
Currently, Andrew is at work on a new solo project in a decidetly more electronic style than his previous two releases. Working title: "Rhythms In Me."
Zru Vogue 's latest, The Exile, is an electro-groove concept album that layers atmospheric synthesizers, electronic beats, and exotic instrumentation to create a mood of zru-phonic weirdness wrapped in a comfortable fog of chilly surrealism. Songs include "Pagoda Mother Fish," "A Happy Near-Death Experience," and "Octavia Insect Queen."
