Morning Teleportation's new album, Salivating for Symbiosis.

Recorded and produced by Jeremy Sherrer at Ice Cream Party in Portland, OR, Salivating for Symbiosis is a collaboration of close friends who have worked and toured together for years. Contributors include Joseph Jones (drums), Alex Lindsey (bass), Paul Wilkerson, Cage the Elephant’s Daniel Tichenor, Nick Bockrath, and Matthan Minster, Death Cab for Cutie’s David Depper, and Mimicking Birds’ Aaron Hanson.

Morning Teleportation—which spent the last few years either in the studio or on the road playing for crowds at Bonnaroo and Sasquatch, and supporting the likes of The Flaming Lips, Cage the Elephant, Modest Mouse, among others—has made its best record to date. Whereas their “frenetic, youthful” (Paste) debut album produced by Isaac Brock, Expanding Anyway (Glacial Pace), took 14 days to make, Salivating for Symbiosis was recorded over a year at Ice Cream Party. Jeremy Sherrer, who has worked on recent albums by Jesu/Sun Kil Moon, Modest Mouse, and Ages & Ages, collaborated with Merritt and Goodwin to perfect their sonic vision, at times re-recording and re-mixing multiple songs until the final versions aptly reflected their imaginations. Morning Teleportation pushed itself to create an album with the widest scope possible, incorporating trumpets, banjos, modular synthesizers, and more.

Single LP on 150-gram vinyl.
