New Idea Society has just released The Quiet Prism EP.  It is the bands first release since a touring accident in Germany while supporting their last album The World Is Bright And Lonely.  Quiet Prism, a five song EP clocking in around 26 minutes is a precursor to the new album out in the late Summer of 2010.  It contains several tracks recorded by Mike Law primarily on synthesizers as the Autobahn accident left him unable to play any two handed instruments for some time.  As Law put it, "I have a very visceral memory of recording some of these songs and the pain associated with some particular sounds and vocal takes.  The ambient metal clanking on They Won't Find Us was me recording the metal brackets under the mixing board through a flanger as I lay under it trying to take the pressure off my ribs after a vocal take.  But honestly, it seemed quite funny even at the time".  Other songs like "Autumn You" and "Magic Key" are more in line with what Law and main collaborator Chris DeAngelis have planned for the upcoming album.
