Christmas Lights In My Trousers.

// January 4th, 2010 // No Comments » // Inspiration, Music, Online Fun

Happy new beard little Bimlets.

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.”

Love to you birdies xxxxx

Vocals, Dresses, and Dancing…

Busy busy busyyy day!

But a good one : ) I’ve just logged on after a recording sesh, putting down vocals for a song (that doesn’t have a name yet) for our new album (also as yet untitled). It’s so exciting seeing it emerge, and daydreaming about the artwork, the themes in the songs, and gigging our new songs with a full band and wonderful, wonderful dresses…

But back in the real world, I have been working very hard on an article about the choreographer, Hofesh Shechter, who caused a hoo-ha earlier in the year with his show in the Roundhouse in Camden… You might recognise his work from the opening of Series Two of Skins. He’s worth having a peep at.

Go!

Go!
