Sling Shot To Heaven [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Sling Shot to Heaven, Margot & The Nuclear So and So's 5th studio album, was recorded in the studio that the band built a decade ago with the advance received from their debut album, The Dust of Retreat. The entirety of the new release was recorded on 2 tape with nary a computer in sight and produced by the band. Consistent with their successful approach of self-releasing music since 2008's Animal! / Not Animal (Epic), Sling Shot to Heaven will be released on the bands own label, Mariel Recording Company. Edwards goal for the bands fifth album was to make a record that came across like a sci-fi dream about my decade of touring and making records obsessively while slowly becoming an adult or at least something vaguely resembling one. Margot & The Nuclear So and Sos formed in Indianapolis in 2004 as an umbrella under which a rotating group of friends could come together to record Edwards vast array of songs. They still travel in the black International Diesel school bus that they bought with that first advance and converted into a mobile home, complete with nine very hard wooden bunks. They remain as prolific as ever, recording an album a year since starting Mariel Recording Company in 2010, as well as releasing 3 7s, an EP, and three vinyl re-issues during the same span of time. The band members currently reside in Chicago and Indianapolis.
