Photo O’ the Day: Port O’Brien

Port O'Brien Gets Remixed by Bodega Girls plus Extend  US Tour with Headline Dates threadbare out Oct 6 on TBD records

By Blurt Staff

We just like the photo....

Anyhow, threadbare is the follow-up to 2008's acclaimed All We Could Do Was Sing. Parts of the album were recorded by Jason Quever of Papercuts' living room studio in San Francisco, while the rest were recorded with Aaron Espinoza of Earlimart at the Ship recording studio.  It became somewhat of a two sided record with dark, haunting, and at times meditative songs paired up with the untiring, somewhat aggressive and punchy anthems that Port O'Brien is becoming known for.  The last few years have seen many adventures for the band.  The creation of this record came with continuing changes both within the band personally, and sonically.

The band is about to kick off an extensive tour TONIGHT with Sea Wolf followed by headlining dates in November.
