Hello Andrew here, long time no blog etc. Much has changed.
Truth is at the end of the last album I was burnt out and insecure and blogging seemed insignificant (which of of course it isn’t), like i should have been doing something more productive rather than sitting at the computer talking about the album and waiting for it to come out and really it was all hands to the pump getting the damn thing manufactured.
Anyway, this time two years ago was frantic, trying to get everything ready to go into big studio to record ‘The Great Unwanted’.
This time a year ago, the album was out with relief all its amazing reviews and was about the time we supported Bryan Ferry and were frantically getting ready for our first proper tour culminating with a sell out queue down the street at The 100 Club (dream ticked off the list for me). after that it was off round Europe and to Japan and by Christmas we had left our Greenwich Hitsville SE10 home (now demolished see above) and moved to Soulsville SE5 (Camberwell see below).
So you join us nearly two years on from the first blog and we’re frantically writing and demoing getting the difficult second album together. This week we started demoing a song called “Could Be I Don’t Belong Anywhere” which starts in a jaunty Stax way and then goes very BIG and grand somewhere between Bacharach/Scott Walker and Love. I particularly like it’s fairground swing bits. As with pretty much everything we’ve demoed so far it’s frighteningly good and sounds unlike anything else out there the moment but very Lucky Soul.
Nice to be back, expect the blogging to be much more frequent and probably increasingly nonsensical.
Lots of love Andrew
