Philly/NY/Richmond-based Ultra Dolphins have wrapped up work on their debut full length, Mar which is set for release in the summer via Robotic Empire.

The band worked on the album at The Recorditorium in rural Virginia with engineer Jason laFerrera (VCR, Gregor Samsa, Wow, Owls!) and began work on the album in the summer of 2005. Bassist/vocalist Tim Morris described the album:

It was the most challenging, and ultimately rewarding, experience I've ever had in the studio. It was a long process of trying to execute all these new, challenging ideas we had -- particularly new vocal ideas -- while still creating music that reflects what we are as a live band.

[It lies] somewhere amidst The Boredoms, Rites Of Spring, and Smashing Pumpkins.

The album follows the band's recent release, Why Are You Laugh, a remastered collection of six previously released songs, mainly recorded at DC's legendary Inner Ear Studios (Fugazi, The Nation Of Ulysses)
