Rhode Island

And so, snow. Everywhere. In the local park a rather productive gang have managed to roll a 5 foot tall ball of the white stuff into the beck at the bottom of the field. It’s sitting there quite happily in the freezing water, potentially the biggest glacier currently in West Yorkshire, soaking up silt and turning brown, like kitchen roll dipped in dishwater. The more it snows the bigger its brilliant titanium white hat gets.

Oh, and we had to cancel our only gig in the past six months. Apologies to those would be attendees.

You may well be wondering, ‘What on Earth are you playing at? Where’s my album?’, and that would certainly be understandable, if a tad pushy. Well the answer is, the truth is, we’ve finished the mixing stage. That’s almost definitely true. Now we’re awaiting word on mastering. This shouldn’t take 4 months.

But it probably wont be done before the end of this ice age. At least, not until after all the glaciers have melted.

Rust Hulk demo = HERE

Taphonomy covers ep = HERE

Self indulgence see below.

Our three-track EP “Taphonomy” (cover versions: Smiths, Bowie, Beach Boys) is continuing to be available for free enjoyment HERE

Meanwhile…

You know that album we mentioned? Well this isn’t it.

(although it actually is being recorded this month)

Before this we were busy, and our hands became itchy, so we quickly did an EP of cover versions.  Look:

See?

On Thursday we’re playing a gig at The Smokestack in Leeds. The set-list will be:

In Your Eyes / Next Exit / Women / Creeps /

English Man in Corridor / Hugh Person  / Landmarks

Naturally we’d like everyone to enjoy this experience to the full. We think that familiarising onesself with these newies would aid in said enjoyment. So here they are - just click ‘read the rest’ if you can’t see it…

(more…)

Here, presented in technicolour, to glorious but muted fanfare - finally - two tracks that have been burning holes in our brains and pockets since July. Buoy/Laputa, originally intended as a double A side (if insider muso stories are to believed) and a bookend release to the Suits EP. Well, we hope you like them. The truly impatient can download it straight away, or you can go to its page where you will get downloads, info, track-listing and you can listen to it online.

Next up for the Island? Already plans are afoot and in hand. Songs written and to be wrote. Synths at the ready. And Jeff on drums?

Hello all. This is our shiny new website which we are going to update a bit more often and put a bit more on. Don’t forget though that at any time you’ll be able to get our music for free from here. Some interesting news coming up!
