On September 9, 2008, Mock Orange will release their latest offering, Captain Love, on Wednesday Records. The album was recorded over the better part of last year in Nashville, Tennessee with Jeremy Ferguson (Josh Rouse, Be Your Own Pet).
While in the studio, the band took several video segments which have been turned into a documentary called "The Making of Captain Love." Clocking in at just over 8 minutes, the piece is an genuine, introspective, and, at times, even humorous look at history of the band and the process it went through to make this great record. The documentary unequivocally demonstrates that Mock Orange is one of the most original and underrated indie rock bands of our time.
Following the official release, Mock Orange will head out on a national tour with Phoenix, Arizona's Miniature Tigers (Modern Art/Epic). Tour dates include:
Sep 18 2008 8:00P-The Subterranean, Chicago, Illinois Sep 22 2008 8:00P- Howler's Coyote Cafe, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Sep 25 2008 8:00P- Southpaw, Brooklyn, New York Sep 28 2008 8:00P- The Talking Head, Baltimore, Maryland Sep 29 2008 8:00P- Alley Katz, Richmond, Virginia Sep 30 2008 8:00P- The Soapbox, Wilmington, North Carolina
