    Great band!

    Loved their debut as well as the last two Antique Seeking Nuns EPs - although I'm desperately out to get the first one.

    This new one should be good, though.

    Yup, big fan of this band & Antique Seeking Nuns, especially Double Egg with Chips & Beans. Looking forward to the new one. Nice camples.

    I blame Wynton, what was the question?

    Loved the first album and the live set - looking forward to this.

    But please tell me that those of us who buy it on release won't find it being re-released with an extra couple of tracks in a few months time!

    Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?

    definitely not the case. The only reason this happened on Diving bell was that the band had self released a year before before we took it on.

    I've listened through that YT clip four or five times now, and this surely promises a lot. Seems as if the guys have come up with an even more cunning conjunction of the tricky-vs-melodic, making for another tasty brew of "brainy and accessible new progressive". And I think I hear a bit more of their former Antique-intricacies in these recordings than in the Diving Bell ones, which is utterly to my liking!

    When is this due? Anyone?

    Like! Sounds very promising... liked the first one well enough, so I'm eager to see what this one has to offer.

    I think that's very true actually. Like with Diving Bell, (hopefully) good songwriting is still the main focus but there's definitely more of a Nuns flavour to this record. Lots of tuned percussion, which we left out for the most part last time around.

    I really liked Diving Bell, and this one sounds promising as well. Sanguine Hum are starting to creep up my favorite bands list.

    Some new bits and bobs:

    Here's the vid for the instrumental track In Code, which is the 3rd song on the album. The video footage is from our making of documentary on the special edition of the album, and was filmed as we recorded the basic track at Evolution Studios, Oxford...the audio on this promo vid is the finished song from the album.



    Plus, we have a gig in London on June 7th with Tin Spirits and Matt Stevens. The venue is the Borderline and tickets can be purchased here:

    Thanks!

    Matt.

    Hope to make it to the gig!

    I'm saving up money for this. I'm glad it's a spring release; I got the previous album and the ASN EPs during springtime and had them rolling all through summer, usually when licking sun and sipping bubbly poison water, and somehow I got all nostalgic when listening to them during wintertime.

    So this one will get inauguration to the summerfold.
