we cut a song from our upcoming album for a variety of reasons. there are several bummers here.
it’s the song with aaron’s most prominent vocal.
this means the album will be one song shorter
it’s one of our deepest delves into electronic music so far
the good news, though, is that you don’t have to wait until the album comes out to hear the song! so if you’re not already a fan on facebook, head over to our facebook fan page, become a fan, and check out our latest release!
years ago, the nemesis and tkc super fan bren started a project to reveal the darker side of certain songs from sesame street and other henson works. they’ve now recorded their interpretations of four songs, which are available at the bad felt myspace page.
the nemesis has committed to creating and releasing a song a week over at his site, thenemesis.net this year.
with progress steadily being made on the new album, eventually these songs will include some tow knee chavez works, but for now check out what he’s done so far and subscribe for more gems throughout the year!
for halloween, tow knee chavez dressed up as yfb and hitmaker algorithm. our newest ep is available now!
you can read all about yfb in our three part comic the ballad of yfb. there are over 100 pages in the full story, plus you can get some hitmaker algorithm back story in the supplemental comic obsolescence.
all this art is in preparation for our new album, which will (hopefully) be out sometime in 2010. you can see some making of the new album clips in the video section of our site.
tkc friends yfb just put out their second single in as many months! this song rocks so hard my face hurts, plus you get to hear their lead guitarist, riff, sing just a bit. she’s not the only standout though, the whole band is in top form on this one.

our friends yfb finally got their first single released today (by our old label, hear records). it’s called cut off and is a little different than we expected them to sound, but still cool. they’re a good bunch of guys (and gal), so you should support them.
