delay the album to give them more time to properly promote it. Oddly enough, no rescheduled release date has been made yet,
but we'll keep the site updated as we hear anything. While this news stinks and seems rather miserable to come
so close to its release date, rest assured we've heard the record and it's worth the wait! In the meantime, the label
has made three songs from Wake Me available to download for FREE. Visit http://www.talandacacia.com/freemusic
to get them now...
