"In 2005 we booked studio time in Chicago with producer Brian
Deck. His work with Modest Mouse and Iron and Wine proved his
abilities to work with both a loose rock band and an intensely
delicate band, two features of The Winter Blanket sound. We
recorded an album worth of material, but the lack of time to
develop some of the compositions was apparent. The ability to
rehearse weekly and spend time together was holding us back. The
Magnolia Electric tour had inspired us to play better as a band,
but we couldn't improve without regular practice. How could we
develop? After six years together, we reluctantly felt compelled
to part ways with the original lineup.
Six songs were chosen from the Deck sessions to comprise our new
mini-album Golden Sun, due out October 31st. The new recordings
represent our most mature and sonically vibrant work to date.
These six new songs give an exciting indication of what lies ahead
for The Winter Blanket. Golden Sun marks the end of one era and
the beginning of another. Stephanie and I have recruited two new
members from the Twin Cities. Todd Hansen joined first to fill the
drum vacancy. Next, Todd brought in friend Dave Campbell to play
bass and keyboards. We have now been blessed with new blood, new
energy, and perhaps most importantly, proximity. And believe it or
not, Dave is originally a drummer too, so that makes three. Some
late night Allman Brothers jams are in order, but they only had
two drummers." - Doug Miller (September 2006)

Dave Campbell--bass and keys
