We were initially booked for Ross's show 24/Feb but...things change so we opted for the earlier spot. It's become something of a tradition to do Ross's show with the band spanking new thing we're up to.

As 9 of the songs have already been released as singles I sent those to him, plus some art as a pre-release special version for Ross Fear's recorded show on the 8th, for broadcast 11 feb.

Current Operations

  • Part A: finish all tracks

  • Part B: look for the sonic flow on the album, release later when ready

  • Wildcard C: Stuff that comes to mind in the doing.

    There is much to be said for setting a finishing point. It helps sharpen the work.

Creating isn't neat, you colour first and the lines come later.

Editing charpens the lines.

In my case, the joyfulness with which I approach cutting the snare out of the kick drums, by hand, brings to mind the further joys of being done.

Until, much like a good spicy pepper, you want that sizzle all over again.

I know I am digressing but I really feel like there is a backlog of 5-6 songs that are ready but not ready enough for this, I kinda knew they were a new starting point when 'Bigtime in Newtown' showed up. I have learned the creative tides of this band.

ok so mixing update

  • Solace - done. Needs question answered about where it starts VS Zeppelin thing (OMG THAT NAME help meee)

  • Yearning - Wow! The vocals I got from Olawepo. Theo is now a fan of the song. Before, he made a face about it. It's straight up mixing and tweaking for another few days. Ah forgot, Adding Harp cos it needs something in the centre.

  • Heavens on my shoulder - Robin in Sweden did some stuff for me. I sent you guys that test. It's all there. I'm working my way through it. Paul Surany wants a second shot at it. Awaiting. I think i might wind up with an instrumental for the instrumental collection

  • The Duke - radical new mix vs the initial Dirge. Harmonies from 'Stayre', string section wtf happened. Theo wants to add percussion. will they get it done in time? Mostly mixing

  • Where am i. I dont think it's cooked, boys may vote me down, so that's another mix session. I am reserving the right to remix it

    Yeah imma need a few days.

    Now don't think I am overwhelmed here. When I need a break, I do the artwork. Or the videos. Or post the stuff to the socials. or aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh (beep beep beep...power-off noises).
