From www.myspace.com/thelistening: “Transmission 1 orders have surprised even the optimist in me. Our first initial shipment sold out in one weekend. Our second was only able to fill our orders through November 2nd. We apologize for the delay for those of you who have ordered Transmission 1 and were expecting it sooner. We have been taken off-guard by the orders, and were not prepared for such a warm welcome from our friends and fans.

Our next shipment from our manufacturer comes in November 27th. Envelopes are prepared and ready to be stuffed. They will ship out November 29th. And from there, we should be prepared for the Chrismas rush. Please forgive us for the inconvenience we have caused you.”

After nearly three years since the release of their critically acclaimed self-titled LP, The Listening have returned from their studio underworld with a sample of their latest musical offering. Four new songs, produced by mega-producer Tedd T. (MuteMath, Newsboys, Delirious), showcase a stronger melodic sensibility framed within the familiar dark tones which The Listening have become known for.

These new songs are simply a taste of the vast collection of material in which Wilson and his band of musical mystics have feverishly been crafting for more than two years. Nearly 30 songs are still in the making, with their full-length release slated for 2009. Transmission 1 will be a limited pressing.
