Hello everyone,

our hibernation and gestation period is over. This August, our second record ‘Kaleide’ will be released via Wichita Recordings worldwide. It feels so good to finally be able to let you know!

In March we returned to Seattle (where we made The Golden Spike) to the same man (John Goodmanson) but to a different room with equally strong coffee on offer. The studio was pretty far out of town, with few distractions in easy reach and the experience was intense and immersive. And fun.

We’ve grown all sorts of new muscles and I only nearly fainted once (too many coffees, not enough water).We will be announcing full details of the album soon, but for now we offer you a FREE three track EP for download (see front page).

The EP contains;
KALEIDE (album title track)
SPOOKTACULAR (demo version)
MATADOR (acoustic)

Spooktacular and Matador Acoustic were both recorded in the Crypt of a Victorian church in Yorkshire, which was our second home in between touring over the last year. Spooktacular is one of the many demos we recorded in the belly of The Crypt and a full version of the song features on the new record.

In addition, I can happily reveal that art for the record has been created by illustrator Jack Hudson. The collaboration with him to turn our songs into hard format has been an exciting process. We will also soon be inviting you to generate content to an ongoing, online version of the album artwork project so that we can entertain your eyes as well as your ears.

We hope you enjoy this EP, pass the word on and if you are in any of the following places, see you soon!
