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.
