Andrea Maxand started writing songs for the Bellingham, Washington pop act The Minerals in 1998. Since then she's returned to her native Seattle and written and recorded two solo albums for Montesano Records: the 2001 LP Angel Hat and the follow-up Paper Cut EP in 2002 - both produced by Chris Walla, acclaimed for his work with the Long Winters, Hot Hot Heat, and his own band Death Cab For Cutie.

Maxand's third release Where the Words Go features Death Cab's rhythm section: drummer Jason McGerr and bassist Nick Harmer. To complement the fuller, more ambitious sound she enlisted producer and multi-instrumentalist Charles R. Keller, another perennial of the Bellingham and Seattle scenes and a member (along with McGerr) of Neo and Eureka Farm. Keller and Maxand recorded the album at Avast! studios in January 2003.

Maxand's shows in support of Angel Hat - solo and with Keller and McGerr - earned her bills with Kristin Hersh, Heather Duby, Mary Lou Lord and John Auer, as well as favorable attention from KEXP and the Stranger. Since May of 2003 she's been playing with a new band. Andrea and the band recently played a short West Coast tour in March of 2004, and will be supporting the record with their live show throughout the year.

Where the Words Go was released May 4, 2004 on the independent Chicago record label and publisher Ghostweed Press.
