Buildings Breeding: A Great Divorce in April
Buildings Breeding is shopping their next album, A Great Divorce, around to labels. As of yet no label is named, though “things are looking good.” We’re told to expect the disc in April.
Buildings Breeding have made two songs available, Lowest Light, and Rushing Red. First impressions remind us of Camera Obscura meets Bishop Allen with a surf feel. A Great Divorce will be an album to look for in three months, as you’ll surely read about it on your favorite blogs.

A Great Divorce was recorded at John Vanderslice‘s Tiny Telephone studio, produced by Aaron Prellwitz (Sun Kil Moon). Buildings Breeding is now a four-piece band: Chris Larsen, Melanie Glover, Evan Hart, and Chris Vogel. Their influences range from Beatles, Velvet Underground, Beach Boys, The Cardigans, The Shins, and Belle and Sebastian.
“Buildings Breeding was never meant to be a real band. Their songs were created as a bunch of love letters Christapher Larsen made for Melanie Glover while she
was overseas. Buildings Breeding settled in as a fake myspace.com band from Chicago featuring four members — all alias for Larsen.” (band bio)
