After a great few months of live shows it is now time to begin the recording of our first full length album or at least the electric part of it.Much inspiration has been found from many different people and places.There are lots of different lyrical ideas that flow through the record but i don't want to go into those here i would just prefer you to discover those for yourself.
When it becomes time to record i have a constant nervous energy inside me as if I'm just on the edge, on my tip toes.This album is the reflection of the last 18 months of this band being together.The ideas have continued to evolve and the ideas have continued to be given.And it is a constant creative race to get the songs down and documented as soon as possible to preserve that first moment of when the idea is given.That moment can never been found again but merely replicated as accurately as possible with the passion it deserves.
The lyrics on this album are far more meaning full on a personal level and also have a broad subject matter.
Evolution is important to us as a band and so this album along with the 2 previous records serve as time lines in our creative process.Fear not we're not going to do a jazz album or something after this but we will move and react to the demands of the music.
Also we are no closer to narrowing down the track list so it could be a 19 track album or an 11 track album.I guess it just depends what fits together as one cohesive work.One thing i will say is all of the new material we have been playing live this year will be on the album as well as things you won't of heard.
The pool of material is nice and large so we can hopefully produce a strong album.This what we've got to
choose from ;-
-Saviour
-Beautiful lover
-She brought the light out of me
-Guilty
-I'm not the one
-Deadwood town
-Black leather
-Silent shaking
-Times of our life
-We all live someday
-Reach out
-She got caught in the rain
-Appalachian woman
-Guardian angel
-Better without
-Old religion
-Brothers and sisters
-Bring out ya dead
-Sick and lonely
The artwork is going to be done by our good friend and great artist Angela Oulsnam.Production and recording is being taken care of by our brother Aaron Dolton.

Peace,love and fuzz
