Such an occassion wouldn't be complete without an accompannying record, so we'll be releasing a very limited split-7" single on April 7th; Alaska In Winter's 'Close Your Eyes - We Are Blind' (which as some / all of you will know features Beirut's Zach Condon on guest vocals and ukelele) takes the A-side, while the flipside is occupied by Marianne Dissard and her track 'Trop Exprés' (co-written and performed with Calexico's Joey Burns).

The single, the first to be taken from the Alaska In Winter album 'Dance Party In The Balkans', will be available on lovely 7" white vinyl (limited to 500 copies) from our website, our myspace, and all good record shops, while you'll also be able to download it from i-tunes and various other digital retailers.
