(track list info is from a promo that Motor Oat Records kindly sent to me to review, which should come soon as I'm already enjoying this album a fair amount just streaming on my pc speakers)
Release date is October 23rd on Motor Oat Records
"Using a clever story Waltz/Prog band Vuvuzela announce the date for their upcoming release."

"Rings and Things" is pretty sweet. Rather Kiss Kiss-like, but with piano and other chamber instruments. Damn, I'm a bit more intrigued by this album now.

Band meeting today to start making plans for the release of our 1st lp "The Hollow Choir."
What was going to be a debut EP, has become a full-length debut record from among others, Kiss Kiss /Solo artist Josh Benash.
This also of course was helped/supported by a successful Kickstarter campaign last August.
Stylistically, from hearing what I have (which is not a ton), they are somewhat of a Chamber/acoustic group, using minor keys, and featuring harp? and other strings. I'm not even sure how much vocals they use, but my memory of that is a little cloudy.
the Kickstarter campaign had a video with some of that, which can be viewed here.
more to add in due time. But I'm pretty excited to check this out, now after 9 or so months (or more, since I heard about them probably around the 2010 CMJ Festival).
Also to add the fact Josh's solo record is pretty sweet, and of course his past work with Kiss Kiss.
The media market is huge, thus the need for a media review market.
This is our little contribution to that field.
