Week 11: Would somebody kindly supply myself and Daryl with a new bike and brain (respectively)?

Not a very productive Saturday recording session. The world conspired against us this week. In my case I was a bit knackered following a 4:45am start on Friday and a manic day in London. This was twinned with my bike collapsing en route to our rehearsal / recording hut (axle on back wheel and the bloody chain broke). In Daryl’s case, it wasn’t so much the world conspiring against him, merely the copious amounts of alcohol consumed the night (and afternoon) before. We were pretty useless.

That said I think we may be *nearing* the half way mark. We’re doing a bit of an extended weekend of recording next week, we’ll be recording all the piano, percussion and acoustic instruments for most of the album. That should speed things up a little.

We’re starting to look at the schedule for the latter half of the year now – in particular the non-music related bits and pieces. Speaking of which - any photographers / videomakers out there interested in working together? Drop us a line at subplots@cableattack.com

In one of the more productive elements of the week, Daryl performed some necessary surgery on a worse for wear synth. We're hoping that it will make a full recovery and will one day learn to be in tune again.

In between takes we’ve been listening to:
Panda Bear - Tomboy (an incredibly beautiful summertime album)
Gold Panda - Lucky Shiner (You heard this npr feature?)
Panda Kopanda - This Hope Will Kill Us (our criminally underrated friends from Belfast. Second album on the way too)
