"Too Late or Too Dead+2" is the first new material from members Cayce Key, Andy Lansangan, Brian Case and Robert Lowe since the release of the critically acclaimed album "To Everybody" in 2002. The title track 'Too Late or Too Dead" is also lifted from their forth coming long player "Panda Park", set to release early '04.
90 Day Men are really beginning to hit their full stride, releasing a single that shows maturity in both song construction and experimentation. The stripped down opening with an impelling piano melody, features spacious guitar strokes, dual vocals from Case and Lansangan, all of which lay atop a pseudo-military style drum march driving the song's final progressions to include cello and harpsichord. The second track immediately sets itself apart from the opening with the resplendent dual vocal harmonies of Lansangan and Lowe on 'Harlequin's Chassis', revealing 90 day men at their most melodic and delicate. Closing the single is the more lighthearted and sparse 'Eyes In The road' where we find the band experimenting with loose synthesizer melodies, stumbling-to-melancholy piano and almost impeding drums. What we are left with can best be surmised by the question posed in the last lines of the title track..."Where do we go from here?"
90 day men will be touring the US and Europe through October and November of 2003 in support of this single and in preparation for the release of "Panda Park" planned for early 2004.
