us with this from Saddle Creek:

Desaparecidos are very sad to announce that we will not be able to finish the writing and recording of our new record for spring 2004. We were very excited to record but conflicting schedules for the members of Desaparecidos mean that it's impossible for us to do so. This also means we will be unable to take part in the Plea for Peace tour with Cursive. We believe in the cause 100% and hope everyone will support it. We apologize to all of our fans who are disappointed.
