Buried Structure

Saw this on the main A66 trunk road from Penrith to Keswick in the Lake District. What does it all mean?

Studio Mess

What a mess! How can I work in these conditions? The simple answer is I can't. Therefore the studio is getting its much delayed upgrade/three yearly tidy.

Urban Explorers Festival

Thanks to all those who bought the 'Goodbye Minnesota' vinyl. They are still pouring out & we hope to have a few more shops selling them soon.

The next piece of news on the agenda is that we are playing the Urban Explorers Festival in Dordrecht, Holland on May 21st. Theres a lot of other people playing such as Tim Hecker, Library Tapes, Pattern Theory, Lars Hornveth and many many more as they say. Their website is here.

Leaf Archives now available digitally

Our 2009 tour CD 'Leaf Archives' is now available digitally via Bandcamp. We have about 10 CD copies of it left which you can get from the shop . After that its gone. I hope to use the Bandcamp page to make available digitally any of our limited edition things once they've sold out as we really like people to be able to at least hear stuff whatever the medium.

Also we also have an exclusive track up there which you can download for free!

Forest of Sound is Dead

Hello. I'm just checking in after a few days avoiding getting soaked in the Lake District. I fell in a ditch, got icy water in my boots then as I took them off to attempt to squeeze some of the water out of my socks the boots fell apart leaving me with no choice but to stagger down the mountain with one sole flapping about wildly and my sock and the freezing ground seperated only by a thin piece of cardboard like material. Anyway. We have another gig in June......... this is the final gig to be promoted by top Leeds promoters Forest of Sound and we are pleased as punch to be involved.
