Dear Reader
Dear Reader are from Johannesburg, South Africa. In 2006 they recorded their first record under the name Harris Tweed. "We released 'The Younger' in South Africa and did all the cool stuff that goes along with that. Our two big highlights were opening for Jose Gonsales on his SA tour, and being one of the first South African bands to showcase at SxSw in Austin, Texas. Earlier this year the Harris Tweed Authority in Scotland told us that we needed to get ourselves a new name. It was kind of like shedding your skin (if you're a snake!) or getting a drastic haircut... A new beginning. And it coincided with us finding a new sound as well. Earlier this year we invited Brent Knopf of the most incredible Portland band, Menomena, to produce our new record with us. He took a leap and flew all the way out here to work in the studio with us for two and a half weeks."
