Common Prayer‘s Jason Sebastian Russo was on the cover of The Deli’s issue #2 (back in 2005) as the front man of Hopewell. This parallel project, which debuted in 2010 with the album "There Is a Mountain" offers a rootsier sound, filled with banjos, fiddles and mandolins, that hasn’t much in common with Hopewell’s psych rock.
Russo has been tucked away recording the next album with a gamut of worthy collaborators, and to whet our appetites for what’s to come, the band has decided to release a new single on the new O+ Festival compilation CD of 2010 Artists: a cover of “Love → A Building on Fire” by the Talking Heads.
