Over the past few weeks we've been preparing the release of our debut album Life Stream. This includes things like sorting out press, radio pluggers, tours, music videos and launch parties. In amongst all of that, we've been recording a b-side to go with the first single Finders Keepers, to be released June 14th.
We've been recording it in our drummer Jamie's lovely new analogue studio:

And add some vocals:
And we're done! Tracklaying is all finished, now we just have to mix and master it. Next up, Jamie is remixing Finders Keepers and we're heading back into the studio where we recording Life Stream to make a radio edit. We're also rehearsing lots ahead of our tour in May.
