Atlanta's Morning State has announced that it will release You Know People I Know People on May 3rd, 2008.
Morning State signed to a label last fall and recorded You Know People I Know People. They then headed to the CMJ Music Marathon for several performances, including a VIP late night party with Pitchfork wunderband Black Kids, and Peter and Bjorn (of PB & J, of course!). Shortly after returning home, the band learned that its label had collapsed and was seeking a good bit money for the master rights to the recordings. With this, the band quickly terminated its ties with the label and decided to re-record the album with close friend Asa Leffert (The Whigs, Dark Meat, The Pendletons) at DARC in Athens, GA. The album was re-recorded in about 10 days.
