- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -



   Those who thought musician and visual artist Wes Borland’s current band Black
   Light Burns wouldn’t make it past its first release might want to reconsider
   their view. Cover Your Heart and The Anvil Pants Odyssey, a CD and DVD
   intended as an interim piece between Black Light Burns’ 2007 debut album
   Cruel Melody and their yet-untitled second album, which is anticipated to be
   released in early 2009, showcase both the progression of the group’s career
   thus far and provide a detailed look into the inner workings of the
   musicians’ creative process. Cover Your Heart, a 17-track collection of
   inspired cover songs and instrumental b-sides and remixes from Cruel Melody,
   reveals a new side of Black Light Burns, compiling a provocative list of
   Borland’s most loved songs re-imagined by his band. “The musicians we covered
   are people we all listen to pretty religiously,” Borland explains. “They’re
   all bands that I’m a huge fan of and wanted to tell the world. It’s a
   shortlist of everyone I love that people may or may not have heard of or may
   or may not have thought that I would be into. They’re my desert island
   songs.”

   The ten included covers originated with Borland’s desire to cover The Jesus
   Lizard’s “The Art of Self Defense” and spiraled into an amalgam of sonic
   interpretations that range from an aggressive reworking of Fiona Apple’s “On
   the Bound” to a compelling rendition of Sisters of Mercy’s “Lucretia My
   Reflection”...- all of which the group recorded successively beginning on
   late December of 2007. “Some of the songs are really similar, they’re just a
   little more revved up,” Borland says. “It depends on the song. Some things
   it’s good to just put a twist on and others, like the Fiona Apple song, are
   completely changed. You think: What direction do I want to see this go? How
   can I make this sound like my band’s doing it? The songs are already written,
   so the hard part’s over with. It’s basically just messing around in the
   studio until you strike gold. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had.”

   The companion DVD, The Anvil Pants Odyssey, also spiraled into something
   grander than originally planned, originated into some tour footage shot in
   2007 by filmmaker Satchel Underwood. Once the band realized the footage was
   in itself a full-length documentary feature, the DVD was born with the
   addition of the group’s three music videos from Cruel Melody (“Lie,”
   “Mesopotamia” and “4 Walls”) and a making-of feature from their video shoot
   for “Lie.” The decision to pair it with the album was a no-brainer. “All
   these projects had come to fruition at once, but not through any specific
   plan,” says Borland, who also created all the artwork for the package. “They
   just all started happening at the same time. All this stuff was destined to
   be together in one package.”

   The release of the CD and DVD duo also represents the solidifying of Black
   Light Burns’ lineup, which was initially a rotating collection of musicians
   and Borland when the band formed as Borland’s side project to Limp Bizkit in
   2004. After leaving Limp Bizkit in 2005, Borland transformed Black Light
   Burns into the full-fledged band it is today, penning and demoing
   significantly heavier and more dynamic material than he had in his former
   band and beginning to tour on the songs. That music eventually became the
   engaging tracks on Cruel Melody, which was released in June of 2007 to great
   acclaim from both fans and critics. Borland, who juggles the band with
   numerous other projects, has much of the band’s second album completed and
   has several European tour dates scheduled for August of 2008.

   Because Borland is focused on adapting to the rapid-shifting music industry
   both Cover Your Heart and The Anvil Pants Odyssey will be released in various
   formats to ensure that fans have the option of getting the material as
   cheaply and easily as possible. “Look at what NIN and Radiohead have done and
   we’re doing the same,” Borland explains. “It’s genius what they’ve done and
   it made me really happy to see that and see people have a choice in what form
   they buy a record. It made me want to do it immediately. I like it. It’s
   flexible. We’re following the leader.” Beyond that, the artist has a slightly
   more selfish desire for the record. “I hope the original artists hear what we
   have done and aren’t too upset,” he says. “That would be one of the goals for
   this album. And maybe they will even be tickled or flattered because that
   would be great to actually meet some of these people.”


   Enjoy!
