These Are Our Tunings

Because we get asked this a bunch via email or in person, I thought it might be helpful to throw up the tunings for all of our songs. It includes songs that are on our new, unreleased (for now) album, but sadly, not Ghost Cat, Thumbs, or At the Pool, because I can't remember them right now. Hope to find them soon. All of them are from lowest (thickest string) to highest (thinnest string). Sometimes mix-matched gauges of strings will help with sustain/tone. Have fun:

"The Sophisticate"
E
G#
C
G# (octave higher than first one)
F    (three notes down from G#)
C

Songs - Kier, The Nights Were Walls, Tiger Trees, Expression Of, Imagining the Bodies, Skating with Girl, Aisha, Into the Arms, Sharing, Something I Learned Today (Huskers cover)

"The Sophisticate: Rascal"
E
G#
C
G
F
A

Songs - 3D Voices

"The Sophisticate: Pynchon"

"The Lady"

Songs - She Bears, Don't Worry, You're Prettier.

"The Lady: Rascal"

B
D
A
C
D
E (octave lower than standard tuning)

Songs - Fag Feels Good, I Think We're Alone Now, Iskra Goodbye, Infinity Caller

"The Nest"
B
F#
A#
A# (unison)
D#
D# (unison, where this D# is 13 notes lower than standard tuning E, not 1 note lower)

...but I can't remember past that right now.
