I can confirm that our second full-length record will be called 'Histrionics'.
Writing for said record is going well. Yesterday at practice we wrote a brand new song that sounds like 'Yield' era Pearl Jam. Even in it's extreme infancy, it sounds huge, and absolutely nowhere close to anything we've ever written before. Truth be told it kinda started as piss-take free jam between practicing sets, but it soon evolved into it's own kind of beast after around five minutes. Rhys pretty much solo's over the entire thing, and Eddie's bassline is 'sick'. I'm playing through a clean channel using tons of chorus and delay effect. It's our first song that utilises my new chorus pedal no less, and it'll be the first of many if they all turn out like this. The best things come from nowhere.
So yeah, back to Histrionics... including 'Pearl Jam' we now have around eight complete songs to take into the album session, whenever that may be. I'm thinking the first two weekends of October. Eight days, if we incorporate Thursday and Friday of each week respectively. That's the plan, by which time i expect us to have a pool of at very, very least fifteen songs to hack down to the final ten/eleven to make up the record.
There will be at least one other release between 'The First Two Years' anthology CD and the eventual release 'Histrionics'. One that is definitely happening is an ultra limited edition live CD., which will be recorded during our set at 'The First Two Years' release show in Clwb Ifor Bach (details and a poster for that show to follow).
