Michael Zapruder's Rain of Frogs

Today is Tuesday, which means it's official album release day. And more importantly, today is the official release date for Michael Zapruder's new album. You can listen to some of it on his myspace page. I got my copy a few months ago (disclaimer- I played bass on four tracks), and have listened to it tons. I usually don't listen to albums I played on once they're finished, but I like it so much, I made an exception.

And for you lucky people in the bay area, his band Rain of Frogs will be playing at Cafe Du Nord this Thursday. The album features some really lush arrangements, and the word is that they will be performing this Thursday with strings and horns, just like on the record.
