From Hydra Head Records:
Big Business are also pleased to announce that they think it turned out great.

Quite a few of those millennial types on the internet have been asking the band things like: "What's up with the new album? Why's it taking so long? How come you guys don't play that one song anymore or have merchandise at your shows?"

While Big Business don't have time to answer all of those types of questions directly, we at Hydra Head would like to take this opportunity to present you with some True Facts about MIND THE DRIFT.

FACT #1:
Producer Phil Ek (insert famous bands like the Shins here) has again evolved the band's grandiose sound and taken the Biz into new sonic territories!

FACT #2:
Guitarist and newest band member Toshi Kasai adds new voice and dimension, and looks good doing it. You can actually hear the handsome.

FACT #3:
Most of the instrumental tracks were recorded at AVAST! 2 studios in Seattle, WA. in June and July of 2008.

FACT #4:
Due to the busy touring schedule of Big Biz and the Melvins, most of the vocals, as well as some overdubs and mixing, had to be postponed until late November of 2008. The album was completed in Los Angeles (well, actually, Burbank to be precise). (That's a two-fer.)

FACT #5:
While recording Jared's vocals, Phil Ek kept a loaded sawed-off shotgun in the control room.

FACT #6:
Hydra Head Records will be releasing the album on LP/CD/Digital this April. But more news on that later...

If you are internet savvy, you can check out a new, never before heard track called "Gold and Final" streaming on myspace.com/bigbigbusiness... NOW!
