Now that his other music projects, Destroyer and The New Pornographers, have their new albums out, Dan Bejar has announced that his latest music project "Hello, Blue Roses" will be releasing its debut album this January on the 22nd. In the company of Dan Bejar is Sydney Vermont. Despite them being in a relationship, the two have worked together before in "Bonaparte", along with Steve Wood (The Battles), Josh Lindstrom (The Precious Feathers, the Awkward Stage), and Krista Marshall.
In an emial to PitchFork, Vermont says the band was created out of sheer boredom. "The glory of a two person band: 'I'm bored, want to record an HBR song? OK!'".
Though Dan Bejar is the big name in the band Vermont describes the set up as her writing the lyrics and melodies, singing, and playing flute, "while beau Dan "'arrangers, adds instrumentation, and sings back-up'". Bejar's comment was, "'I am a budding engineering star.'"
Though the band will not be releasing their album till January 22nd, they will be splitting two singles. The first comes out December 4 with Frog Eyes taking up the first two songs of the single.
A1 Frog Eyes: "Policy Merchant 2: Ah Shit Man"
A2 Frog Eyes: "Stockades 2: You Are the Water..."
B1 Hello Blue Roses: "Foam Hands"
B2 Hello Blue Roses: "Wall of Death (Richard and Linda Thompson cover)"
Then, the duo will split its second single with "Starless & Bible Black" who will release their track "Calico" while HBR contributes the Album's title track, which is the bands name with out the coma.
