Audacious Art Experiment Review


Read this fine piece of writing relating to our latest single, 'Carry You On My Shoulders'. It's great to hear people voicing an opinion of our music that mirrors how we feel about what we're doing:

'Carry You on my shoulders' single release

We are set to release our next single 'Carry you on my shoulders' on 11.04.11 through Run of the Mill Records (UK) and Silver Rocket (Czech).
It will be available on a limited 7"vinyl with a free CD and pin badge or digital download. The artwork features a collection of photographs taken on an original Lomo camera.

We took a slightly different approach on the B side track with a stripped down arrangement of the song 'Wish List'. It was recorded over a few weeks by ourselves and good friend James Hutchinson. Guitars and voices were put down in a very small bathroom with additional vocals from The Lake Poets. Percussion and bass were recorded separately in an old miners hall with other parts added in a church hall including a Steinway grand piano and Timpani. The B side will be named 'Wished out' and will be exclusive to this single release.

Futurefest Photo and the New Year

We had a great time at Futurefest; it was great to play alongside good friends Futureheads, Frankie and The Heartstrings and Where the Sea Starts. A wonderful photographer who goes by the name of Jazzy Lemon took some pretty cool shots of us here.

Happy New Year to you all and expect some new releases from us soon!
