Right.

This is a blog I've just posted on our MySpace. It kind of goes over old ground a bit, but makes a nice little summary of our recording adventures. For these adventures are now complete for the time being. Yes that's right, the new EP is finally finished. CHEERS OF JUBILATION ALL ROUND, PLEASE!

"Right. Ok. Since marktristan is spending a good deal less time near a computer at the moment, I am taking over the MySpace blog. For better or for worse. I, singing and guitaring Jon shall attempt to update this with some degree of regularity.

As the more perceptive among you will have noticed, we've finished our latest EP and you can now hear it on this very page. A loud 'hurrah!' from me, because frankly it's taken bloody ages and has driven me slightly insane.

We recorded the drums and bass with Mat Sampson at Bink Bonk studios in Bristol mid December. Then I took the tracks away and started adding guitars and vocals in the Sky Is Blue home studio extraordinaire. Then I got the sodding flu. So couldn't do vocals for ages and ages because my chest and throat were all wrong. Wrong!

Still, managed to finish the mixes eventually. Probably sometime in late January/early February, I can't really remember, it's all merged into one protracted nightmare in my head.

Then got Murray Benjamin (a film-composing man with very good ears) to master it for us. And he did a good job, but we weren't 100% happy for a variety of boring technical reasons...so got Mat Sampson to master it as he'd recorded the drums and bass in such a lovely way. Then Mat got the sodding flu so couldn't do it for a while.

SO! Lots of delays. But I'm really pleased with the finished article. Copies on CD with proper artwork and stuff will be available at our gigs for the time being. Let us know what you reckon!
