Local indie rockers Two Harbors will be releasing their new album All The Places We Would Rather Be this Friday evening at the Uptown Bar.  The new album was produced by local mainstay Ed Ackerson of Polara and Susstones Records.  Some of you may know Two Harbors by their old name, Colonial Vipers Attack, but after a couple line-up changes their name was also changed and they pursued the making of a new album.  On the band’s myspace page everything is explained as follows:

Although proud of their first album, this time out the band was determined to make a record that captured its live spirit and depth. A few foundation decisions were made: The tracks would be recorded live in one room as complete performances – no click tracks, quantizing, or other technological skullduggery. The band would write and arrange the songs as a group, working together to focus the dynamics and enhance the hooks. And, to help oversee the recording process and provide “big picture” assistance with the songs, they would work with a producer from start to finish. To this end, Pavlich contacted producer Ed Ackerson (Pavlich: “I had wanted to work with Ed for 15 years, and we finally got the opportunity to with this record”). The band convened at Ackerson’s Flowers Studio in Uptown, a studio purpose-designed to record bands playing together, and set about creating their most vibrant recording to date.

We’re looking forward to hearing the finished product for sure!  Also performing on Friday will be Kid Dakota, Mercurial Rage, and We Became Actors.  Sounds like one not to be missed!
