We had a praccy tonight, exclusively working on new stuff. It felt - and sounded - amazing. Albums One and Two were written pretty concurrently, so this felt like getting back to basics, starting from scratch.
It felt like the early days again; exciting & fresh. Album 3 will be HUGE.

@petepaphides.bsky.social Your interview with Guy Garvey today was phenomenal, Pete. The Musical Youth bits in particular were so enlightening. Nice one!

Throwback: Pistol Pete Higham, in the studio, absolutely transforming 'Daydreaming' with his surging brass line.
The man with the horn, indeed.
What a guy.

Throwback: The wonderful Victoria Reid of The Mono LPs played some cello for us during the recording of 'This Blue Earth', including the gorgeous, swirling parts she laid down for 'La Dolce Vita'.
Hearing this in the studio was a real 'hairs on end' moment. Glorious.

After recording our sensational album 'This Blue Earth', a record label raved about how much they loved it, but didn't want to pick us up, as our social media wasn't up to scratch.
No idea what they meant by that.

Might make a concept album about this persona. "Just a crazy centrist, with a crazy dream.."
I'll call it 'Hashtag Satire'.
Not really. But a double album *is* coming next, providing that fugging lunatic hasn't had us all blown up, so God help us all either way.

Oh, our shining stars and body.
We released our second album this year, and things like this make it all seem worthwhile.
In the latest Violette Newsletter, Jasmine Nahal picks a song of ours as the best thing she's discovered this year - in stunning, beautiful fashion.
Thank you.

Be merry. Be peaceful. Be happy. Eat too much cheese. Fall asleep on the couch. Pop some rennies. Listen to This Blue Earth. Listen to Big Unit Agricultural Regime. Free Palestine. Tell bad jokes. Kiss & hug your loved ones and tell them you love them.
