YOUCRAZYDREAMERS.COM

There's a write-up of the band on music blog 'you crazy dreamers', set up by fans of Ray Lamontagne... they also feature our song 'This Old Heart of Mine', which you can download for free here.

Read the write-up here. They cover loads of other great music too, so it's well worth a look.

DALLAS TEXAS OR BUST!

We're delighted to confirm that Grammy nominated producer John Congleton will be producing our debut album. We knew he was the right guy when we heard his recent album Micah P. Hinson and the Red Empire Orchestra (if you haven’t heard this we thoroughly recommend it.) He has worked with artists as varied as Modest Mouse, Antony and the Johnsons, The Polyphonic Spree, Explosions in the Sky, Marilyn Manson, Bono, Celine Dion, Erykah Badu and his own band The Paper Chase to name but a few. If we’re honest it was the Celine Dion connection that really swung it for us.

John should be way out of our league but he has an ethos of working with underground bands that he really likes. We put together a list of producers who we’d like to work with on this album and sent them demo CD’s. John was our number one choice and we are as excited as we are surprised that it’s all working out.

The band will be in Texas with John over January 2009 and will no-doubt be posting some of the results for you to enjoy when we return (as well as some pics and vids of the trip). The plan is to release a single off the album fairly soon after we get back to be followed by the album release and some UK/European touring after that. We’ve still to agree a suitable label for the album release but we’ll keep you updated and make an announcement when we’ve found a nice home for it.
