Despite the recent tsunami of critical raves of their latest disc from the likes of Blender.com, MSNBC.com and CMJ, cult band The Majestic Twelve are amazed that they are now landing on a slew of “Best Of 2006″ lists as well. Indie tastemakers including the fine folks at Blow Up Radio, Jersey Beat, Last FM, Lazlo’s Den and Culture Bully (who named it the second best album of last year, just behind The Raconteurs) are saying that “Schizophrenology” by The Majestic Twelve is one of the finest discs that passed through their door in 2006.

Schizophrenology has been downloaded over 17,000 times since releasing independently for free, and charted nationally – out of the blue - on college radio for more than two months.

Initial tracks like the politically charge spoof, Condoleezza Check My Posse, gained the attention of MDs, fans and friends everywhere. However a deeper listen to the collection of genre bending songs reveal such topics as resilience through tragedy (Break It and Breathe), the heartbreak of lost love (Cry), and much more.

Schizophrenology was co-produced by lead singer and chief songwriter Kenyata Sullivan and Jerry Kee (Superchunk, Polvo, Ryan Adams). Free downloads of Schizophrenology are still available at www.themajestictwelve.com.

The Majestic Twelve formed in 2002. They sold 5,000 copies of their debut album, Searching for the Elvis Knob, on word of mouth alone. Their video for “I Don’t Have a Job” appeared on MTV’s Overdrive and “The Wedge” on Much Music. In addition to writing and recording songs for the third Majestic Twelve album due this fall, Sullivan has landed a book deal to write about his experiences in the underground music scene to be released around the same time.
