The Shakers?

Subject: The Shakers?

     Does anyone know the release date of the new Shakers recording?  It 
was due May 14th, but I have yet to see it in the stores.  The name of 
the album is "Songs from Beneath the Lake" on Carlyle Records.  I have a
 flier from the company and here is what it says:  
 
"More fully developed from their first EP, 'Songs from Beneath the Lake' 
is a mysterious, swampy mixture of vocals and acoustics.  If mermaids
could be recorded singing and playing underwater, it might sound 
like this."  

This is what the flier says about the first EP 

The Shakers:  "Living in the Shadow of a Spirit" 

"The Shakers conjure up enchanting melodies that stir the soul of ghosts.
Acoustically arranged and featuring the siren-like voice of Rebecca Stout,
this EP torments and soothes the listener not unlike the precocious 
behavior of the legendary Bell Witch, to whom this album is dedicated.
'Light the candles and do nothing but listen.'--Buzz Magazine"

I heard the EP and I like it a lot.  I was listening to a show called
"Suspended In Gaffa" and the disc was spinning...very cool stuff!
