"The Pod", otherwise known as the solo project of MAKE guitarist Scott Endres, has finished work on a new record titled 'Assassins in the Mirrored Hall' (mastered by MAKE's usual partner in crime, Nick Petersen) and is available for pre-order today.
The pre-order will stay up until enough funds have been raised (either through pre-order sales or Scott's paychecks) to press a bundle of CDs (those who pre-order will, of course, receive the CD once funds have been raised and the CDs are pressed). All pre-orders will give you an immediate digital download of the album along with two pre-order-exclusive bonus tracks not available later on or anywhere else. In addition, the first 20 pre-orders will come bundled with the first The Pod CD, '
Satellite'. And in addition to
that the first 10 pre-orders will receive Scott's old psych-rock band SUNTAN's full length '
Send You Home' CD.
This pre-order
package deal will update as disc bonuses sell out. If for any reason you wish to
opt out of any bonus discs or physical copies, just say so in a message
via bandcamp. Liner notes will appear on the physical CD and there will
be a special section of thank yous for everyone who pre-orders as a
gesture of sincere gratitude.

Here are a few details about this record which may be of interest to you:
* The record is largely inspired by and loosely based on The Book of the New Sun series by Gene Wolfe.
* The Pod in general is comprised of compositions from improvisations which are later cut apart, manipulated and assembled together.
* Both Spencer Lee and Matt Stevenson of MAKE have appearances on this record.
Cheers and thanks for listening!
