"it's a long trip. we are the only riders"

My apologies for the lack of updates. Work on the album was put on hold for a few weeks during October.
We've been busy putting together an evening of live music, which will happen next week at The Hoxton Square Bar. There's a thread on the forum (in the "shows" section) with more info. Please come along and say hello!

So. The album. It is always the "honeymoon" stage of a new project which sails by with ease. Starting something often requires a certain kind of discipline, and then you throw yourself into it all guns blazing... but if at any point you become distracted or if "real life" suddenly gets in the way.. then, re-starting requires a great deal more discipline.

But re-start we have. Tentatively at least. Maria and I were (with varying degrees of success) recording guitar parts last week, and this week I have been attempting to record some vocals.

Despite one day of non-starters and over-emotional self criticism, I believe I'm beginning to relax a little more when it comes to recording my voice.

I would try to descibe how this album sounds but that would be somewhat futile. And besides, it could all change tomorrow anyway. All I can say is that it's "more". More loud, more quiet. More happy, more sad. Everything and nothing pushing out from the centre in all directions. More personal, more generalised. More song-based, more atonal.

And now I can't think of anything to type.
