how about a preview song off the new album to tide us all over?
Three Mile Pilot - Systems Officer
Awesome news for Three Mile Pilot! Really pleased about that... But... What about Systems Officer? still coming out this year? Can't wait anymore, 4 years is too long :-)
4 years is long :-)
right now im just sitting on the systems officer record, its about 90 percent done.
i like to digest it a bit and make sure i like it, before i release it.

4 years is long but 8 is even longer
so, it's been over 8 years since songs from an old town... is three mile pilot actually putting out another record? i visit the 3mp page with a kind of blind hope once every week or so, if only to efface the growing sense of mockery by the word "SOON," alas. i would really, really appreciate it if you would take the time and let us 3mp fans know what's happening in that camp. thanks!
two records...
heh,
yes 8 years is long, but at the time pilot had no plans
to make another record. pall jenkins had started black heart procession and i had moved on to pinback. we remained best of friends a long with tom zinser. just over the last few years did we decide we wanted to resurrect 3mp. we started to record little ideas here and there. both of us were too busy to really focus on pilot. its just been over the last year that we turned more of our attention to pilot. we have about 20 ideas...recorded. we plan to have the record mixed and completed as of march/april 2009 with a release later in the year on touch and go records. this is the idea as long as our other bands dont get in the way :-P
oh yah this is dito for systemsoficer -for the most part. very close to finishing. two records -almost done hooray !

thank you...
Zach: thank you! I truly appreciate that update on 3mp. For me, those later collections of songs (esp. another desert and songs from an old town...) really hit a high water mark: they sound like nothing else, and truly take the listener on a journey in a way that so few bands are capable of doing. I'm sure so much of that has to do with the chemistry between yourself, Pall, and Tom (one of the most criminally overlooked drummers ever - glitter wave, for instance, is sheer rhythmic brilliance). Anyhow. I look foward to the next collection of 3mp songs and wherever they may take one... Best wishes to all of your future projects.
Thanks for the update
Thanks Zach, it's good to hear it's almost done. I'm sure it's going to be a wonderful album, and we can wait as long as it takes to appreciate it even more when you release it.
Hope you're good.
Take care
Kevin
