Scatterheart is out! If you’ve bought the CD or downloaded the tracks, you’re a total diamond : ) And if you haven’t yet, it’s all there, ready for your ears at the Bim Shop. (It’s also on iTunes, but the Bim Shop is much nicer than iTunes, so we like best it if you download direct from us : )
If you were at the hot little Workshop gig on Tuesday, THANK YOU for coming, it was max fun and I think you’re all awesome. If you couldn’t make it last week, or you loved it so much that you want to come and shimmy around/drink beer with us again, we’re playing at Cargo with Jackanory and The Ball on 28th August. You can get your grubby mits on some early-bird tickets right here.
We’ve been busy. Welcome to our new house. We’ll be here, blogging as usual but now there’s new places for you guys to explore, like the photo gallery, our shop (which will have all sorts of wicked and wonderful merchandise coming soon), a home for all our videos and a few other bits too.
PLUS:
We’re so excited to announce the release of our new album, Scatterheart, that we’re kicking it all off with a free download of our first single, Head Over Heels. All you have to do is sign up for our thoroughly excellent and not-at-all-spammy newsletter here to get your copy.
Scatterheart will be released track by track, in little teasers everyday leading up to the official release date. You can check the progress, and listen to the snippets at the Music section of the site.
If you’re following us on Twitter & Facebook, you’ll be the first to know when a new track preview is available for your sweet ears. We’ll also be tweeting and facebook-ing all our live dates, new blogs, as well as posting pics and fun things.
Hope you all had maximumly awesome and fun holidays. I’m sorry we couldn’t give you a Christmas treat. I wanted to film a live version of a new song from the album as a tasty teaser but the main problems were:
1. Tim left his piano in London
2. All pianos in local vicinity were passionately out of tune
3. We were too busy eating mince pies and recording new vox
But I continue to endeavor to delight you with yummie snippets at some point before the album is released. : )
It was a marathon.
Both Tim’s and my family live in the West Country, so I decided to house a temporary recording studio in the attic room Chez Mama and Papa Rosier, so we could carry on recording and wear paper christmas hats and hug the cat all at the same time. Everyone’s happy.
Now.
Today I remembered Efterklang. I’ve heard of Efterklang lots. But I have never given them lots of time to be listened to.
So I listened to them.
Then I found this…
And I fell in love with them.
Reminds me of school, when I first saw a crazy uppy-downy-inside-outy MC Escher picture. Also kind of reminds me of Yellow Submarine and Alice In Wonderland and other awesome, beautiful works of bizarre art.
And then i found this comment on the vid. Says it all. And then some:
“This song makes me feel like Christmas Lights are flickering on and off really fast in my trousers.”
