“Overlay” from our new album Let Nature Square (available May 2008) has been added to our Listen page. You can hear the full track along with cuts from our first album and some unreleased live recordings.

We have completed recording the material for our second full length record, Let Nature Square. The album is our first studio recording and will feature compositions we’ve spent the past year playing live. We’re into the mixing/mastering phase and anticipate a release on HighTwo records in spring 2008. Details will be posted as the release date approaches.

Our eponymous HighTwo release has been recognized as among the best jazz albums of 2006. The Village Voice and All About Jazz New York listed SxS as one of the top five debut albums of the year. All About Jazz included SxS in their list of best albums of ‘06. In Peter Margasak’s Chicago Reader blog “Post No Bills”, Shot x Shot was listed as no. 8 out of his top 40 albums of 2006. See our Press page for the full story with links.

Thanks to the folks at the Voice, AAJNY, AAJ, Chicago Reader, to Dan Piotrowski at Hightwo, and to everyone else we know.

In case some of you didn’t know, Shot x Shot has a MySpace page. We’d like you to be our friend. Won’t you be our friend?

It’s also a great way to get audience feedback. Think Bryan’s pants are too tight? Wish Matt would play one of those basses with no f-holes and a pickup in the peg? Let us know and leave comments about how awesome or non-awesome we are.

Our first album is now available on the HighTwo label joining other notable artists such as Dave Burrell, Sonic Liberation Front, and Make A Rising. The album was recorded live at St. Mary’s Church in West Philadelphia in May of 2005 and features liner notes by distinguished author and critic Francis Davis.

We have a few track from the CD, as well as some other clips, here.
