Album recording starts tomorrow!

OK, we hit the boat at 10am sharp tomorrow. We were meant to be starting today but unfortunately all the power went in the dock so it's been put back 'til tomorrow. Let's spill the beans though so you know what to expect over the next 7 days.

The album's called Motherwhale and the tracks are as such:
1 - Speckled eggs for speckled lovers
2 - Return to danger castle
3 - The projectionist
4 - A song for my mother, the whale
5 - The seaweed brother
6 - For the love of the mechanical bears
7 - O' Science
8 - Celebration
9 - Christmas lions
10 - Match of the day
11 - Olympus mons
12 - Zoomercroom
13 - Come home

We're going to be recording the main instruments (drums, guitars, bass) live, which is something we strayed from with the last album but we're hoping to return to some of the energy of our earlier material. Don't worry though we've still got a stack of extra curricular instruments stashed away to up the upness.

In the meantime here's my top 5 of 2010:

1 - Heartland by Owen Pallet
2 - The Age of Adz - Sufjan Stevens
3 - Oftentimes - A Genuine Freakshow
4 - Man Alive - Everything Everything
5 - Weathervanes - Freelance Whales

Tomorrow we'll have some photos and better stories,
