Here's a video we made for a track called "Lives of Plants and Animals" off our forthcoming record!
Extra-special thanks to Planet Creature for lending their melodious voices to give the song a bit of extra kick at the end!
Enjoy!

RECORDING
We have FINISHED.
After 6 months or so of planning, song writing and recording, we have finally completed our second full length record! Awwwww yea.
We have felt incredibly lucky over that period of time - with the incredible good fortune of being able to record in one of top studios in the city (and the country for that matter): Revolution Recording is a pretty wonderful place, and we have met so many talented, kind and enthusiastic people during our time there. It felt pretty surreal to be able to play in such a luxurious studio, and to hear our music blasted out through the biggest speakers. We are so grateful for the opportunity to have made this record in such a place.
... and we think the record sounds amazing too! Get ready to have your ears blasted off with some epic, poppy hits! The release has yet to be confirmed, but look for it in early 2014. We will be releasing some singles, and hopefully some music videos before then however...

ALBUM NEWS
So, despite the fact that there is no evidence of progress on this blog (which I plan to update more often as a delayed new years resolution - those things are so hard am I right?!), we really HAVE been working incredibly hard on our new record.
We have had some stumbling blocks along the way; changes to almost everything related to this project have been popping up. However, we are now in a place where we know when, where and how we will record what we hope is our best music to date.
We have had so much fun recently playing together, and could not be happier with the new music we are coming up with. Last December marked 5 years of being in a band together. We forgot to mark the occasion with anything special, but I was panged with nostalgic memories of the 68 shows we've now played together (wow, it feels like more, maybe that's a lot? who knows). But I will say that we don't feel like we'll be slowing down anytime soon.
We'll be sharing updates, some musical bits and pieces, and photos from now until Spring when we hope the record will be fully recorded. Below are some shots of our preproduction sessions over the last couple of months:
