Post Honeymoon to tour in support of new album

Post Honeymoon’s roots go back to a summer night in 2001, when drummer Nick Kraska met keyboardist Rachel Shindelman (both ex-Bang! Bang!, New Black) and brought her to a show at Chicago’s Empty Bottle.

It took them three years to start playing together and another three to get married, go on their first vacation and start their own outfit, the aptly named Post Honeymoon.

The duo’s new album self-titled album was engineered and produced by Greg Norman who has previously worked with Pelican, Russian Circles, Mclusky, The Atari Star, Pinebender, Milemarker, Andrew Bird, and 90 Day Men.

Featured tracks include “Dirge,” about a Hurricane Katrina story as told to Nick and Rachel by two New Orleans cab drivers. The drums on the track are based on traditional creole funeral drum beats.

Additionally,the song, “Fakes,” was recorded with two drum sets playing at the same time: Nick and Shane Hochstetler from Milwaukee’s Call Me Lightning (French Kiss).

Post Honeymoon strips bare and slows down the pop songs Nick and Rachel perfected while playing in other outfits. What’s left are the kind of tunes you dream up when you think nobody else is listening. Think Siouxsie Sioux meets The Motels, meets Love & Rockets (without the guitars).

See the band on the road as they embark on an extensive string of dates from May through July.
