- Recording is done. Ant will be redoing some of the vocal tracks this week, but otherwise finished. In the tradition of all their records prior, this was self-recorded in various bedrooms & practice spaces.
- I’ve been listening to the rough mixes, sometimes I’m reminded of a more dark Christie Front Drive, occasionally Built To Spill, some poppier American Football moments and perhaps a slow-burn akin to Red House Painters.
- Next on the to-do list is mixing with Samuel Johnson (A Death In The Family) & mastering by Doug Van Sloun (Cursive, Bright Eyes, American Analogue Set). Both of whom worked on the debut Modern Art & Politics.
- Has a running time almost half that of the debut album.
- Photographic artwork by a fantastic young Brisbane photographer.
- Vinyl junkies rejoice! Will be available on LP / CD / Digital formats. (Vinyl does have the added burden of delaying the release date a bit I’m afraid)
- A little too early for a release date, fingers crossed late Winter. Still too soon to lock anything in.
Slower, shorter & Arrows best work to date.
