Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s own Maritime (which includes former Promise Ring members) have announced that they will be releasing Human Hearts, their fourth album, through Dangerbird Records on April 5. The new album will be available on vinyl, CD, digital download, and in a glass jar with cork stopper and preservative brine.
In other Maritime news, a rash of fans have been using the band’s own message boards to illuminate a growing trend in the band’s fanbase: the complete and total loss of their hearts. Victims of the crime report, surprisingly, that they are still capable of ordinary activity but in the place where their heart should be is only empty space. Fans were already suspicious of this alarming trend and have only grown more intrigued now that the band have announced the title for their new album and the accompanying statement about being available “in a glass jar with cork stopper and preservative brine.”
Despite the obvious violent crimes being committed, the band has not released a statement addressing the issue, which has only made their fans more terrified since they DID release a statement announcing a handful of tourdates and promising to be in YOUR town soon! If you must attend one of these shows, keep your heart on your person at all times.
