Equal Vision Records and DAMIERA announce a June 24, 2008 release date for their sophomore record, QUIET MOUTH, LOUD HANDS. The four-piece self-recorded & produced the eleven-track set over a four month period which began November 1, 2007 at a studio they built in
In 2007, the band went through a member overhaul which brought the producer, Jayson DeZuzio (Coheed And Cambria, My Chemical Romance), of the band’s first album, M(US)IC, into the band on four-string. The lineup change has had some fans skeptical of how the new members would effect the sound they fell in love with, but Raymond reassures us that the old sounds is still there. “[QUIET MOUTH, LOUD HANDS] is a hybrid of early Damiera (EP), M(US)IC, and current. Primarily, there is far more instrumentation. There are songs that are obvious DAMIERA guitar lines and rhythms – but there are songs that I’m sure anyone who knows DAMIERA’s music won’t believe to be on the same record.â€Â As for his own contribution to the sound, “the vocals span four octaves – which in relation to M(US)IC, where the vocals were very percussive and high tenor, is very different.”
The band is currently scheduled to hit the road with Breathe Carolina and The White Tie Affair in the month of May. The trek will begin May 6th in the band’s former “hometown” of
DAMIERA is: Dave Raymond – vox/gutar; Jayson DeZuzio – bass; Steve Downs – guitar; Joshua Sparks – drums
