New Album This Way Comes...

It is exciting. It's terrifying and exhausting. We've got a secret SoundCloud page where we pass back and forth instrumentals between band members. There's only one song with words yet (maybe two...) but I've got concepts and ideas coming together. I write on ma iPhone when I walk to work with ma headphones in. Samson is in Australia for February playing drums with Horse McDonald. We're playing a few gigs with Scruff Lee DJing the whole set on Ableton. Thilo was meant to be playing but forgot what day it was. We're all conducting a long-distance writing relationship via the wonders of the World Wide Web even though the rest of us all live within a five-mile radius. There's a whole bunch of collaborations with various very cool people to get finished (not for the album but it seemed like too simple a notion to write a simple albums-worth of material in one go). The album doesn't have a name or a theme or any songs as such yet but it's slowly starting to develop a vague shape. This shape shifts and shapeshifts and with each song a weight lifts, by the end I'll be weightless. Stanley Odd taking in the view from the shoulders of the giants I've been standing on.

Who knows what it's gonnae end up sounding like but it will be finito by the end of April and released in autumn after a summer of festivalling aw o'er the place.

In the interim, check out Louie's album 'The Discernible Truth' featuring a wee verse from yours truely on the track 'Oddacity'. I would also recommend Nostal's 'Nostalgia E.P.' both of these were released this year and are FREE.

Peace
