(About MP3 downloads at CD Baby)

For the band's sixth album, they put six songs on three separate discs grouped by texture and feel. Each texture builds as the songs move into the day. Beautiful, lush melodies pulling mandolins, pianos, cellos and violins trrough the "Morgen" (morning)

notes

Maggi, Pierce And E.J., live, breathe, eat, drink and fart music.
They are constantly touring the U.S., U.K., and Europe along with their faithful black lab,
Pokey. (He sells merch, drives the van and makes coffee...it's pretty bad, but he's trying.)
They play everywhere from colleges to festivals, clubs, cafes and the occasional kennel.

For the band's sixth album, they put six songs on three separate discs grouped by texture and feel. Each texture builds as the songs move into the day. Beautiful, lush melodies pulling mandolins, pianos, cellos and violins trrough the "Morgen" (morning) songs, followed by huge harmonies and more upbeat tracks during the "Mittag" (Midday), and closing with some heavy, far out, feedback-fueled guitar power trio on the "Nacht"(Night) disc.

Recorded in Berlin and mixed by Grammy winners Ben Wisch and Phil Nicolo, the new record will be released September 15, 2005.

The center to all of this is their intricate three part harmonies that unifies everything. Throughout all the thought provoking lyrics, organic instrumentation and wonderful songwriting, the way these three sing, with each taking lead or background is what has endeared their work over six records, to a growing number of fans around the world.
We hope you enjoy all the colours reflected in this new record!

"There's a thread throughout, yet this album takes chances in a way you don't usually hear. It's music that comes out of creativity and fun. It's ALL there! This album surprised me and it will knock your socks right up your ass!!!!!!"-Phil Nicolo

  • Pandora shows the way
    author: magnuslian@hotmail.com

    I was listening to the norwegian band Kings of Convenience at Pandora.com. Pandora searched and found music that was similiar to kings and found Maggi, Pierce and E.J with Castle Walls. I searched the web, there was not an album to be found in norway so i tried CDbaby and soon after the Cd was on its way to Norway! Thank You CDbaby.

  • Everything that MPE puts out is unique and thoroughly enjoyable.

    The Silver CD is a continuation in the MPE evolution. The moods of the music are separated by CD and demand continual listening. I thought this purchase was well worth it, as has been every other MPE album I've purchased.

  • I love this CD!

    They have a great concept there. I have no idea if they’re previous releases are assembled the same way, but here’s what they did here: The CD is really three CDs. They are labeled Morgan, Mittag, and Nacht (Morning, Midday, and Night in German). The Morgen or, Morning CD is your more mellow folky stuff. Mittag contains some more upbeat pop while Nacht simply rocks out. A great concept and a genius way of showing of your bands diversity. I’m mucho impressed! Not to mention the fact that this band is expertly skilled at all the tempos, genres and styles and that they attempt. (click above link for full review)
