Ace Enders – guitar/vocals
Joe Marro - guitar

The Early November have a flair for irony. For proof, look no further than The Room's Too Cold, the New Jersey-based band's Drive-Thru Records full-length cd debut. Despite the chilly title, the new album is as warm and richly embracing a collection of songs as one is likely to hear this or any year.

Co-produced by lead singer/songwriter Ace Enders and Chris Badami (producer of their 2002 EP For All Of This), The Room's Too Cold is a striking departure for The Early November (as well as for Drive-Thru Records, which crosses new musical frontiers with this album). The band passed on using synths, auto-tune and pro-tools. Instead, they went for natural sound and intensity, using vintage amps and instruments, a live string section and predominantly first-take vocals.

"We wanted to make a more mature record," says guitarist Joe Marro. "So we tried to do songs in different time signatures and stayed away from typical song structure." Adds Enders, "The important thing was to keep progressing. You always want to step it up."

The new album was written during a tumultuous time, with Enders having just broken off a long-term relationship ("I was a wreck," says the unfailingly honest Enders). But that kind of climate often results in the best work, and the trauma is well reflected in the album’s songs.

"Ace never forces anything," says Marro. "He writes songs in the weirdest and most random places. Whatever he's feeling is what comes out, and generally, the final version of the song is very close to how it originally began."
