Blue Ghost - by Falling Up

No amount of networking cables & internet could allow my excitement to come through upon discovering that they released this new song on their Facebook yesterday.

Falling Up is from Portland, Oregon.  Fronted by Jessy Ribordy, they were a 6-piece* alt-rock band for their first albums/release: "Crashings" [Feb. 24th, 2004].  5 were listed** for their follow up: "Dawn Escapes" [2005], then 6 again*** for their remix album "Exit Lights" [2006].  There was one more release "Captiva" in 2007 (which had 5 listed****) before their greatest hits album ("Discover the Trees Again").  The now 3-piece band***** (that The Dear Hunter's Casey Crescenzo produced and was heavily involved with) "Fangs" on March 24th, 2009.  But they announced their breakup in Jan. 2010, only to follow that with the announcement of new music in Oct. the same year.  A KickStarter follwed, which fans raised enough money for - & they started recording in Feb. 2011.  This song was posted on their Facebook page yesterday (May 25th); it's from the new album "Your Sparkling Death Cometh", to be released June 28th, 2011.  Needless to say, I'm quite excited.
