Berlinesque

For all of you who didn't know this; last year me and the Mrs temporarily relocated to Berlin, to take some time off touring, nurture our passion for food, club music and ourselves. The goal – for me anyway – was to endure for three months, maybe scribble down some lyrics and possibly write an melody for accompaniment. We ended up staying for a total of eight months, fell completely in love with the city and I basically wrote all the songs for the new album. So, it's with both astonishment and weirded-out-ness I learned that the German embassy has moved in across the street from the studio! I figure it to be the most definite sign, pointing me and the Mrs to return to Berlin – which is our present intention. So see y'all krauts in the fall of 2008!


As far as recording goes; we're making slow but steady progress. Track two; »Trust Falls« is now completed, so come wednesday we'll move on to the next bit, a little something called »So Demure«. It is the first song I wrote for the album, and also the first song I ever recorded by myself (the demo-version at least), so I have a good vibe about it. It's very danceable, with a freaky beat and includes harmonious guitar solos. Stay tuned for video clips next friday!!!

As an end note, I'd like to take a moment to state that Bess is now fully vaccinated and will soon be coming around your house looking for dogs to play with! So we'll see y'all in the fields!

And also … consider this my solemn remembrance of the murder of Anna Lindh.

That´s an honour for us here in Germany - always feel welcome! I hope, you will perform the new record in 2008 near Heidelberg/Mannheim/Ludwigshafen. I´ve seen you the last time you were here and it was incredible - Firefox AK also were great!
