I THINK IT MIGHT BE ON TIDAL TOO BUT I DON'T HAVE TIDAL SO I CAN'T CHECK

LOVE U

tomorrow

tomorrow is the one. the big day. the day you've all (ideally) been waiting for.

that's right, besides justin bieber's birthday, tomorrow is the day we release our EP.

really it's a labour of love, this thing. you can say it's been a long time coming as well: we recorded treeman and catwalk over a year ago now, and the rest back in the autumn. i still fondly remember the day when we walked, baby faced and innocent, into the hallowed rooms of czar street, clutching our instruments and hoping to lay down something special. hopefully we achieved that, although you'll all be the ones to judge. we've had great fun making "frenchgirls" and we're proud of it; with enough luck everybody that hears it will appreciate the effort. i can promise right now that it's a damn sight better than jfkep.

you're all very familiar with catwalk by now, and in fact the majority of you will already know about the various tweaks it's been through to get it to the version that kicks off the EP. i think luka's multi-instrumentalism really shines here, stellar work.

ricochet ricochet is a relatively new song (relatively being the key word because, y'know, it's still like a year and a half old), and was probably the most complicated to work out. there's a lot of trickiness involved, but we came through in the end. while we'll be the first to admit that our live version of it, while getting better, isn't the greatest, on the EP i think we've managed to get it to its full glorious potential.

slippy has had a few incarnations, as have a lot of our songs. it's been through more name changes than any other song we've created, and still nothing we came up with was good enough for us to bother changing from slippy. we've grown to love it, in a way. sounds good too - some nice harms going on in the chorus, props to ben and jamie and me for that.

nine lives actually won the poll that we did on twitter to determine which song we'd release before tomorrow, but y'know, we forgot to release it. sorry. hopefully you can find a way to forgive us. besides, there's only like 6 hours to wait until you can hear it anyway, so no biggie. being in a six piece band it's very hard to do anything subtle, but nine lives is (we think) a very valiant attempt. this version is a tad more fleshy than the live one, but that's not to say that it takes away from the song, which is great.

and you've all heard treeman on fire by now. if you haven't, what the hell. we released it in october bro, get on that shit. the EP version is ohsoslightly different to the single version though... whoever can guess how gets an amazing prize that we'll think of later.

please please please enjoy this EP, you can buy it from our bandcamp or from itunes for only £2 (although it's like 20p more on itunes for some reason), or stream it on our spotify.

and finally, to keep you occupied tonight if you're dedicated to staying up late enough to hear the EP when it drops, thom's made a special playlist on spotify for you all to listen to to get you hyped for the release

let's fuckin go m8 xox

A BRIEF NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
woah i can't believe it. only 9 months and we've already made it to blog 53. talk about an achievement. i remember back in the heady days of our youth, when ben first had the idea to write "ouch - the beginning". remember that? remember when ben used to post on here? what a great time... now you've just got me and my stupid ass opinions.
enjoy blog 53 everybody, it's been a wild journey. here's to the next 53 xox

"frenchgirls" friday

hey all,

as a treat (and because since we announced the EP two weeks ago and haven't rlly done any hype since), we're gonna drop some facts to you all right now, if you want to know some facts right now.

FACT ONE: "frenchgirls" is coming out on march 1st. but you knew that already. here's the cover -

isn't she a beaut.

FACT TWO: there are going to be five songs on the EP. rather than just list them now, we're gonna kill two birds with one windfarm and show you the back cover - 

banger central am i right

FACT THREE: we're playing a gig tonight, at the brude with NGOD and TREEBOY & ARC. we'll be trying our best to put on a great show and i'm sure we'll succeed. joel dent (photographer and brother) is gonna play drums for us because kit's away, but don't worry we've tested him out and he's cool.

the EP's gonna be available to preorder at the gig, as well as our posters which will still be available to buy off us. if you're super dedicated (or just think we're actually famous) we'll sign them for you.

FACT FOUR: treeman on fire is now on more internet places. we've uploaded it to spotify, itunes and even (i think) tidal, as well as the old places where it still is (bandcamp, soundcloud, youtube etc). funtymes, you can still buy it if you want but to be honest it's gonna be on the EP so you might get better value for money if you wait till march 1st.

 boy oh boy it's great being in a band, thanks everyone

goodnight, have a good one xox
