so at long last the single is out. huge thanks to diy for seeing fit to feature our no-hope asses in the neu section of their site. looks like we've still got it. feeling sassy right now. the video took forever to edit, there's something like 1600 stills in the mo-cap sequence (pro terminology, all present and correct and shit, yeah). budget was £1.29, cost of a bottle of diet coke which i took out to parkland walk with me when i shot it. loads of strange looks from people as

sorry about the radio silence. we couldn't afford to pay the website bills, but we're all settled up now and the lights have been switched back on. the album is finished, mixed, mastered and getting pressed as we speak. it took longer than we anticipated as i am a pain in the arse to work with and kept asking for things to be changed at the last minute just when we thought we had it nailed. as such, we're extremely proud of it. whilst not being able to make a living from musi

this song is primarily influenced by this chap. i had a book of his called space warriors when i was a kid. i think part chimp used one of his images for an album cover, so they kind of got there first in the obscure artist cultural reference stakes. not that anyone's keeping score or anything, or that they're cooler than we are or anything, or anything, or anything. they are way cooler. #redkite #albumII #pointoflight #spacerock #stewartcowley

so this is like the new website and shit. hope you like it. i’m not actually going to be promoting it or going live with it until the new year when we start getting up to stuff, so chances are i’m writing this to no-one. if you’ve stumbled across it already then congratulations, you are an early adopter. the old blogspot site is going to stay where it is as an archive. if you’ve never seen it before then feel free to take a look, it’s got some interesting little bits and piec
