If I were you I’d go and do this right now, it’s only £8 for CD, or £12 for Vinyl (limited run) and I would. The artwork is mint, check it below, and click on it to go to the artists’ site (they are mintER).

So enough of all this linkage anyway, it’s dinner time. Thanks for making this year so much fun, hopefully next year will be even better.

Oh, one more thing. Happy new year…

Love from Doug

5 things you’re excited about in 2009?

KATIE:
1. Roaming over more of the world to see new and familiar faces and pastures.
2. The release of The Golden Spike so we finally have a document to share
3. Moving to the seaside (I’m moving house)
4. Reading and writing as much as possible
5. Root Beer

A ‘challenge’! Can you think of two sentences that rhyme to describe your band?

KATIE: We make noise. A girl and two boys.

You have a new record coming out in 2009, which you recorded in Seattle with John Goodmanson, what was the recording process like?

KATIE: We spent a week at Death Cab for Cutie’s studio (they kindly lent us drums and amps as we came over with just our baggage allowance of guitars) and a week at John’s place. The recording process involved lots of ice coffee (katie), Red Mountain Dew (Nestor) root beer (katie), PBR (Doug) and 35 cent ramen noodles.

Hopefully you’ve seen our brand new video to Beeline and here we are with news of how we’re going to release Beeline.

The single is released in download and watch formats. If you pre-order a ‘Beeline’ promotional analogue watch (that’s right folks, no CDs, just watches) from the Wichita Recordings online store this week, you will receive the three single tracks in mp3 format immediately… and on 26th January, the watch will arrive on your doorstep, but this will be strictly limited edition, so order fast from here:

And what is Beeline about? well Katie Harkin kindly explains
“The song Beeline is about picking the right moment to take action, so we thought a timepiece relaying motivation (”discuss the moment when we should all beeline “is wrapped round the face) would be appropriate and slicker than your average.”

Sky Larkin are headlining the upcoming ‘Huw Stephens Presents’ tour as well as playing Christmas shows with Stereolab.
