They've recently announced they've signed with Tapete Records who will be releasing their forthcoming full-length early next year - congrats guys!

In the meantime - they have just embarked on a tour swinging them all across the midwest and beyond:

Coming Soon: Music From the Film CENTER OF GRAVITY

I did a full score and some songs for an indie film shot in Brazil - "Center of Gravity" or "Centro de Gravidade".
It's coming out October 18th. It's my first work for film.

You can preorder at my Bandcamp page, and you can preview the tracks on the Amazon listing.
Once released it will be available for download at all the usual online spots - iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp et al.

Here's the spiel:

CENTER OF GRAVITY is a film written and directed by Steven Richter, with original music by Erik Blood, starring Julio Machado and Ana Carolina Lima.
The film was shot in six days in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with two cameras, a low budget and minimal crew.

Based on the story "Pity for the World", by American writer David Plante, and set in Brazil, CENTER OF GRAVITY deals with universal questions about love and our expectations toward the beloved, the thin line that simultaneously divides and unites one another.

This is Erik Blood's first work for film.
