Several months ago word got around that Appleseed Cast were finally planning to release a follow up to Peregrine of 2006. These rumors were confirmed when we found a little demo of a new song called “Road West” way back in September. A few months later, the band offered up finished track “Raise the Sails” which got even more positive buzz going around the music world. Today we offer another sneak peek of the new album with a track entitled “As the Little Things Go”. The new song is another instrumental oriented tune that seems to hark back to the days of Low Level Owl 1 & 2. You’ll be able to pick up Appleseed Cast’s new album Sagarmatha on February 17th and catch one of their stellar live shows at the Mohawk on the 7th.
