The Search Begins

(Original post date 23 May 2010)

Well hello there Reclusites,

The first reviews we have seen of Anhedonia have been pretty good which is awesome, apparently we have 'lost our dark amosphere' though and I've checked my pockets and can't find it so maybe it is gone. Not to say that we write pop songs now, to be honest I didn't really think of ourselves as dark, maybe not partivularly bright but I always thought there was a message of hope in the lyrics, painting a picture of a situation but not all doom and gloom, heigh-ho, maybe I just need more sunshine.

The upcoming tour with Eject Pilot Eject is looming and we have a couple of tasty gigs lined up in Cardiff & London but there is an emergency meeting going on tomorrow to finalise some dates so we can really get grooving with it. The thought of spending a week in a small van with 4 dudes and a lady (Don't I own a DVD called that?)is an interesting one, especially when Tom's throat clearing noises and Charch's chain-bad-gagging come into the equation.

On a more musical note (see what I did there, did you?) we have recorded a live albumin the very plush Green Rooms just outside our home town and it sounds TASTY, it's unmastered yet so after some tweaking it should be a real barn-stormer......I don't know what that means folks, but heck, it sounds cool. There are four new tracks on there as well as some golden oldies, the new songs are:

Hush (slight problem with this one......when we played I had really, really tight flares on and the end of the song requires....nay, DEMANDS a lighter solo but sadly for all those involved, my trouser

Crown of Sleep (one of my favourites to play live)

Porterhouse blues (featuring our first drum solo....yes...it's finally happened)

Calmer killer (This song contains only two lines of lyrics and is influenced by a  book I recently read about someone who 'wasn't very socially aware')

We are currently looking for a director for a music video, iseally it would be for passing cars but we would be happy for a video for any song in our back catalogue (available for free from www.recluse.bandcamp.com) so if you fancy it, let us know! More info as it becomes available on the virgin Recluse music vid!

'It's strange to think of you as not around' - Crown of sleep


peace out
