The shipping nightmare has subsided (”it’s an enviable problem to have”—R. Jensen), the dust has settled, and neither the forces of crime or nature were able to stop Parenthetical Girls from finally shipping out all of pre- and post- orders of Privilege, pt. 1: On Death & Endearments. A genuine thanks to all who have ordered thus far for your patience and confidence—it’s incredibly rewarding to have your support in our modest endeavors.

Here are some things about all of that:

• Things I Have Learned Feature (via The Quietus)

• Interview (via Evil Monito)

• Interview (via Gaydar Nation)

• Los Campesinos! 4 Parenthetical Girls 4eva (via Drowned In Sound)

• Soundtrack: The Fall (via This Is Fake DIY)

• Epilogue Magazine

• “Sounds for the Rhythmically Admired” playlist (via MOG)

Now let’s put it to bed.

“The World Turned To Ashes In His Mouth” by Steven Miller

Parenthetical Girls are presently in the frantic final stages of completing work on a truly epic collaboration with our good friends in Seattle experimental theatre company Implied Violence.

This work is a continuation of The Dorothy K, the piece that Zac performed with the group this past Summer as part of the New Island Festival on Governor’s Island in NYC. Here’s a picture of Zac being leeched:

The new piece—featuring both Zac & Rachael, plus a new, 5-song musical suite conceived and performed by Zac and composer Brian Lawlor—will be premiered at the Donaufestival in Krems, Austria at the end of April.

This will be followed by a very brief Parenthetical Girls European tour. Deep breath.

Also: Privilege 2 is in the can, and waiting to be mixed.

This is our life now, apparently.

Love,

Parenthetical Girls
