Brooklyn, NY’s Encrypt Manuscript are finally set to release their long-gestating debut full-length, and has posted four new tracks from it for streaming on their MySpace page.

The tracks are taken from the Alex Newport (At the Drive-In, the Mars Volta)-produced Census, recorded this past November and due on The Tone Library label in March. It will be released in limited quantities on compact disc and, soon thereafter, receive a wide digital distribution.

The band actually recorded an entirely different full-length entitled People in January 2007 with producer Paul Mahajan (TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs). However, the entire album was scrapped, as the band says: “…We felt the performance, the recording, and the songs themselves weren’t close enough to the ones we had envisioned. After a brief but tumultuous period of anger, confusion, and denial, we eventually found clarity and decided to re-do the entire record.”

With Census, the band claims they “think it’s an honest and exciting representation of the musical influences and conceptual ideas [they’ve] tried to develop since releasing [a] 7” in 2005.”

Record release shows are being planned for both New York City and Long Island. New York’s will take place March 29 at Fontana’s in New York City with Each Other’s Mothers, Villa Vina (ex-On the Might of Princes), Limbs and Cheeky. Long Island’s will be during the first week of April with a reunion from Church of the Rowdy and Incendiary among others.
