Lots of exciting news lately. Marissa has just wrapped up most of the tracking for her fourth full length record. The record is being produced by Chris Coady, who has worked with Blonde Redhead, TV on the Radio, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Entrance, and many others. Most of the tracking was done at the Carriage House in Stamford, CT in a lovely studio surrounded by cat and dogs and trees. The historic significance of the studio seemed to breathe new ghosts into the songs. The record (not yet named) features Marissa's writings in many new sonic landscapes, and the changes are exciting and creatively revitalizing. The musicians on the record are Myles Baer (Black Hole Infinity, Marissa's Ballads of Living and Dying) on electric guitar, theramin, and bass, Farmer Dave Scher (Beachwood Sparks, Rilo Kiley, Interpol, Elvis Costello)on Lap Steel, Organ, Moog, and Piano, and Simone Pace (Blonde Redhead) on drums and percussion. Marissa plays acoustic and electric guitar on the record, and does all the vocals and harmonies as well. The record will be released in October of 2008 on Kemado records and will be made available worldwide.
