WE ARE MILES RANISAVLJEVIC AND WILLIAM CREMIN, AND WE ARE THE TORN ACLs.

WE LIVE AND WORK IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.

IN THE SUMMER OF 2008, WE PUT OUT AN EP CALLED CEDAR-BY-THE-SEA.

CHALIA BAKKER (THE TEMPERS) AND EMILY WESTMAN (BLUNT MECHANIC) THEN JOINED US FOR OVER A YEAR OF SHOWS. SOME HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED TRIPS TO SAN FRANCISCO AND BELLINGHAM, AN AUDIOASIS SHOWCASE AT THE SUNSET, AND AN IN-STUDIO PERFORMANCE ON KEXP.

OUR NEW EP IS CALLED SYMPATHY FOR CRIMINALS.

IT WAS RECORDED ONTO 2" ANALOG TAPE OVER 4 BRISK NOVEMBER DAYS. MICHAEL LERNER (TELEKINESIS) MANNED THE CONSOLE AT TWO STICKS AUDIO.

WE HUMBLY SUBMIT THE RESULTS OF THESE EFFORTS FOR YOU TO STREAM ABOVE OR PURCHASE IN OUR SHOP.

MILES INDIVIDUALLY BLOCK-PRINTED THE ARTWORK FOR 300 CDs BY HAND. HERE ARE A FEW PHOTOS OF THAT.

WE ARE ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF PREPARING A FULL-LENGTH RECORD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LISTENING.

WILLIAM AND MILES
