We thought this might give you an insight into where we’ve been mixing, and plan to record some of the next record with Mr. Holmes himself. Part Two coming up…

We know we’ve been a bit quiet of late but we have been busy…here’s a few pics from recent mixing sessions for our next EP before we get fully stuck in the new album.
We’ve already demoed around 30 new tracks which will form the bulk of the new record, and the EPs - and there are bound to be some special remixes and collaborations too.
We’ve again been working with the sonic scientist Tim Holmes from Death In Vegas, at the infamous Contino Rooms and our own Mosquito Dorm studios.
More soon…

We’ve been in the mosquito dorm finishing off our new single this morning. Here’s a few pics. Thanks to Placebo for the lending us the bass :-)

As promised here’s a link to a little something we put together yesterday called ‘Surround the Possible’. We thought we’d try something a little more cinematic and just see what happened. It’s kind of an ethereal musical snapshot in time of where we were from 9:00 until 14:00 rather than a ‘New Song’ as such, but we said we’d share so here it is. Artwork by Mister Semple.
You can listen and download for free via Sound Cloud or listen and watch to some visual stuff we found on You Tube and set the track to. (No copyright infringement intended of course)
We recorded everything live to an analogue 16 track, and then mixed down in stereo, then popped it onto a mac and converted to MP3.
For those fellow gear geeks amongst you, here’s what we used:
Akai S20 , MPS 2000 , Leslie 2101 Rotary Speaker, Hammond B3, EH Memory Man Delay, Korg MS20, Fender Jazz master, Les Paul Black Beauty, Les Paul Custom, Fender Jagstang, Devi Ever Truly Beautiful Disaster, DBA Octave Clang, Boss Analogue Delay, DIY Spring Reverb (Made by Matt Sladen (Live Keys Player) Marshall Valve Combo Stack, 1989 Mesa Boogie MK iii Green Stripe.

Thought we’d just share a couple of recent album reviews from Mojo and Classic rock Magazines. Not bad for our first go. We think album number two might just pull a few surprises though.
