In Simple Intervals is the second album by Philadelphia 6-piece band

Audible. Recorded in songwriter Mike Kennedy's home studio (i.e, his

bedroom), this ten-song follow-up to Audible’s 2005 Polyvinyl Records

debut Sky Signal documents the sound of an unlikely band growing up

and moving beyond their early sound. Intervals sees Audible's

songwriting becoming more ambitious, retaining its off-kilter sense

of melody while reaching towards more robust arrangements and greater

sonic texturing. With influences ranging from the clean pop precision

of Fleetwood Mac to the ragged guitar interplay of 90s indie legends

Polvo (both referenced in two song titles), In Simple Intervals is

louder, and quieter, than their previous music. It is the sound of a

band challenging, and affirming, their love of making songs.



Audible began in 2000 as a four-track collaboration between

Philadelphia musician Mike Kennedy and his then-girlfriend Mary

Garito. As Mike was busy playing drums in several popular area groups

(matt pond PA, Mazarin, Lefty's Deceiver), the two never intended to

become an actual band. But after releasing a few home recorded EPs,

Kennedy was dared by Philly producer Brian McTear to record a proper

full-length record at McTear's Miner Street Studio. The resulting

album Sky Signal was picked up and released by Polyvinyl Records in

2005 to glowing reviews. Kennedy recruited several friends to perform

his songs live: girlfriend (now wife) Kristine Kennedy on bass,

longtime friend and collaborator Jim Kehoe on guitar, and the only

good drummer ever found on Craigslist, Steve Cawley. The band toured

throughout the year, playing with several monsters of indie rock such

as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Okkervill River, and the Castanets. In

2007, Audible added 6th member Ed Hogarty (Bigger Lovers) on guitar

to bring additional counterpoint to Kehoe's precise guitar lines.

Their second album was recorded in the Kennedys’ bedroom and will be

self-released on May 19, 2009.
