After spending the summer playing shows such as the Pitchfork Festival and Roskilde, Extra Golden and Thrill Jockey records are pleased to announce the March 10 release of their new material Thank You Very Quickly. The basic tracks from this 6 song album were recorded in one day at guitarist Ian Eagleson’s parents’ house. Additional tracking was done in the Pocono Mountains, and the mixed in Washington, DC, with Jonathan Kreinik and Nikhil Ranade. All involved feel that this release saw Extra Golden gel as a band - rather than a “collaborative encounter."

Drummer Onyango Wuod Omari takes the lead role on “Ukimwi”, a passionate plea to destroy AIDS. And the title track was written to thank fans who donated money which served to keep Extra Golden’s families safe amidst Kenya’s post-election violence. The sound of the record is described as "pre-digital" with "live drum sounds" and "organic guitar tones."
