Heavily inspired by the writings of Raymond Carver, "Twelve Rooms" is essentially twelve different stories — some fiction, some not — written with an insightful observance and quiet desperation. Palaxy Tracks' distinctively subtle compositions perfectly convey a sense of loss and longing, evoking images of specters and spectators, murders and memories, empty rooms and endless open roads. Mood is carefully established and embellished with touches of mellotron, horns, hammond organ, pump organ and other finishing flourishes.

"Twelve Rooms" shows a band that has progressed gracefully over the course of three records, growing ever more evocative and sweetly heartbreaking with each respective release to build twelve rooms of swooning, bittersweet perfection.

The special edition begins with the twelve songs that comprised the original release, then leads into a live performance of the title track from the band's 2003 release, "Cedarland," recorded at the "Twelve Rooms" record release show in June 2005 at Schuba's in Chicago. Next is a haunting remix of "Grey Snake" created by label-mates The Octopus Project, followed by three excellent, previously unreleased songs recorded during the "Twelve Rooms" sessions. After an early demo of "Speech With Animals," Chicago musician Daniel Knox renders a bare, emotional take on "Me & You & Him" with only vocals and piano, and Kent Lambert from the Chicago band Roommate remixes "Camera." The special edition closes with another live performance from the "Twelve Rooms" release show: a new song called "Non-Fiction."

I did sound for Daniel many times in Chicago in the early 2000s, when he was still playing lots of Sunday Nights. I loved the music then and it’s only gotten better. Palaxy Tracks
