the band sleep station was supposed to come out with a new album called monica around spring 2005. i was really looking forward to it, they even had some tracks completed, including "someone like you," which i listened to on their myspace page over and over again, imagining it as a potential summer theme song of sorts. then the album didn't come out. that particular incarnation of the shifting lineup of sleep station started calling itself new london fire and set several release dates for the album, now called i sing the body holographic, that never came to be. i think everyone was pretty sure that it'd be coming out in february. i was even briefly in touch with brad paxton (now of starboard green), who, among other things, arranged the four-part acoustic guitar section at the end of "goodnight to the moon" on sleep station's after the war. he said this:
"New London Fire's album will definitely be coming out Feb. 7th - their label decided to push it back so they could spend more time hyping it with tours, interviews and the like. Personally, I think it's going to do very well."
now it's coming out august 8th, and it's available to listen to online right now. i was worried that re-recordings or other tinkering would alter "someone like you" for the worse, but even though the record is coming out so much later than anticipated, it's the same version i'd listened to before, the same awesome little duet with the "let's all sing along with david debiak's oohs" chorus: closure to a minor music saga in my life.
