Sorry, our hosting ran out and we didn't notice. Normal service resumed.
Right now our attention is mainly going into rehearsals for live shows. Quite a few unreleased songs being thrashed into shape by the four of us. A new chorus here, a better ending there. The limiting factor at the moment is how cold it's getting in our rehearsal room - not good for guitaring fingers and singing throats! There still may be scope for another guitar...
Anyway, we're in a good mood after our lovely review (see below).
Electrum
Whatever Happens, Happens

Sometimes there's just something about a tune which makes you want to play some sort of air instrument. BANG, Electrum's EP kicks off with precise drums, but soon you'll be onto imaginary bass guitar, slung around your knees, Hooky-style. However, this only lasts until the chorus, where feedbacking guitar kicks in and an array of effects pedals do their work in building up a wall of noise. What's not required however is any helping the vocal, as Caireen beautifully and clearly intones a tale of relationship breakup which offsets the frenetic backing perfectly. 5-star stuff. [CC]
