A taste of things to come

Where on earth has that new album got to?

Numerous queries have been fired in our direction, along the lines of “the website has been saying ‘2005’ for months now – will the new album actually be released this year?” Well, finally we can give you an answer (of sorts).

The probable answer is ‘no’. For various personal reasons, work on the eighth album, still under the working title ‘H8’, has been rather slower over recent months. Whilst it is true that we were hoping to release it by now, it now seems increasingly probable that it will be next year by the time it is unleashed.

In the meantime, we’ll update you with the current situation: Around 40 tracks have been written and demoed, and a shortlist of around half have been identified as likely album targets to concentrate upon.  Vocals are steadily being recorded, and a number of ‘final mixes’ have already been completed.

Stay tuned for more when we have it.

"In the first half"

Alright, so we might have been lying when we said the new album would be released in the first half of 2005. Hypernova have been very busy with other projects, and would like to apologise for the delay. There definitely is an album in the pipeline, and it's "Not a Million Miles" from being complete (do you see what we did there?). On the other hand, it's not complete yet either.

In the meantime, writing and recording continues, and the album will definitely (hopefully) be completed this year.

We've also been getting a lot of feedback for the downloads, some of it positive, and so thanks once again to everyone who has listened to our music. Don't forget to keep checking the downloads page for full details - five tracks are now available, and we intend to add the sixth (Solitaire) very shortly.
