OH YEH, AND SO…

The record is complete.

I think we have a name for it. Maybe. Not sure. Probably.

All bar one of the sixteen pieces of music we have recorded have titles.

On Monday night we had a bit of a bash and drank Champagne and ate Indian food to celebrate. Here are some snaps:

I cannot wait until we can properly TALK ABOUT IT and stuff.

Oh, man! I can’t wait to hear it! Are you going to do any special releases like on iTunes or anything?

GarethJune 24th, 2009 at 3:20 pm

A SPECIAL ITUNES RELEASE, OMG!!
Reckon we might go all out and release it on a compact disc and on a slab of plastic too, mate.

JeskaJune 24th, 2009 at 3:21 pm

Fuckin’ fantastic. I much prefer slabs of plastic to digitalized tunes. Can’t wait for a more proper discussion or release dates/title/etc.

silJune 24th, 2009 at 3:34 pm

i`ll settle for soft-porn artwork :) , and worldwide distribution, if possible

ruben chalicoJune 24th, 2009 at 3:34 pm

That’s great! do you already have any idea of what the cover art will look like?

EricJune 24th, 2009 at 3:46 pm

Awesome! More formats = we will give you more money and/or baked goods and greeting cards!

And I always hoped Ollie was a Crown-Royal-straight-from-the-bottle kind of man. This letdown is offset by the good news, but only just.

GarethJune 24th, 2009 at 3:47 pm

Ruben – yes.

DanJune 24th, 2009 at 3:47 pm

Congrats! Will all 16 songs be on the record, or is it getting trimmed down?

LewisJune 24th, 2009 at 4:11 pm

go on, you can tell us the title, we’re all friends here (; i was just going through my old stuff of yours and listened to police story. pretty heavy man! x

JuliaJune 24th, 2009 at 4:24 pm

I don’t understand how this works… does the label have to accept what you’ve given them before you can officially discuss it? Or what??
Is that why Neil looks so nervous? (chewin’ on his fingernails)

Christie GrinhamJune 24th, 2009 at 4:25 pm

vinyl! Please do a special vnyl edition!

GarethJune 24th, 2009 at 4:31 pm

Julia – of course not.
Just seems foolish to give away shit loads of details on a record, nearly 6 months before it’s released. Don’t want it to be old news when it comes.

JoshuaJune 24th, 2009 at 4:42 pm

it’ll be worth it anyways. calm yourselves people.
be patient and wait :)

LewisJune 24th, 2009 at 4:55 pm

yeah. ive never seen you live and ive heard you’re mental. cant wait for the newie. i feel with you that almost every song you write is about me, and ive never had that with a band. yeah, im a soppy bastard. but cheers lads :) x

VeeeJune 24th, 2009 at 5:37 pm

Yaaaaaay!truly can’t wait to hear new songs and to see some amazing new artwork.
btw : Veuve Cliquot-one of the best champagne ever,trust me.
Lewis-LC! live is pretty much an experience,you won’t regret it :) 6 gigs here and it always feels like the 1st time :)
x

LewisJune 24th, 2009 at 5:57 pm

GarrettJune 24th, 2009 at 8:03 pm

please have the vinyl packaging be as good as it has been in the past. love you all

vanessaJune 24th, 2009 at 9:56 pm

Who is the bearded lumber jack? I may love him. YES Gareth don’t tell us anything! It would be like knowing what your parents got you for Christmas and making you wait to get it! Don’t make me go crazy! P.S. I am loving the sarcasm today nice… extra nice

IvanJune 24th, 2009 at 10:59 pm

release the album via tape. bring back the old school 90s nostalgia maddness.

JuliaJune 24th, 2009 at 11:24 pm

What’s up with everyone’s praise for patience? TELL ME EVERYTHING, RIGHT NOW.

vanessaJune 24th, 2009 at 11:32 pm

Julia if we knew everything it would ruin it all. We don’t get the album for 6 more months. It was just finished. Let them enjoy it. We all know its going to be great and are excited but knowing the information and not being able to listen to it would drive me crazy. I would hire a secret agent or something to retrieve it for me. Lets just start the book club and try to keep our minds off it..

vanessaJune 24th, 2009 at 11:33 pm

and I still want to know who that bearded gent is

Joe KellyJune 24th, 2009 at 11:37 pm

SO EXCITED!!!

You guys are THE best band around today and I am so glad you keep pumping out such fantastic music.

You’re a long needed breath of fresh air in a world where it is considered to take upwards of 2 years to make a good album.

They’ve both been masterpieces thus far. Here’s to the third!

Hip Hip?!

ShannonJune 25th, 2009 at 12:04 am

CONGRATS! I’m positive it will be as amazing and touching as everything else you put out. so excited!

TrungJune 25th, 2009 at 4:49 am

yuuuussssssssssss!!

i expect details whenever you feel like it.

JayJune 25th, 2009 at 9:01 am

Does that red plaid shirt have a blue trim/underlining? If so, I have the same one.

AMAZING.

What a horrible post.

neilbealeJune 25th, 2009 at 4:28 pm

Yes it does have a blue lining. It’s from H&M and it hasn’t let me down yet.

vanessaJune 25th, 2009 at 8:07 pm

who is the lumber jack

ClairJune 25th, 2009 at 10:37 pm

Yessss. Don’t tell anything about it until it’s down to the wire, except: is there a mandolin on any of the tracks?

GarethJune 25th, 2009 at 10:48 pm

I think there is Clair, yes.
There was definitely a mandolin at one of the studios (Tom serenaded me with Losing My Religion), so I’d imagine it made its way onto the record somewhere.

ClairJune 26th, 2009 at 3:35 am

Brilliant. :)

JoshJune 26th, 2009 at 6:06 am

The lumberjack is the new Aleks. Unfortunately he lacks the same lust for stationary that Ms. Campesinos had…

ConnorJune 26th, 2009 at 10:21 pm

I have an idea, release 1 letter of the album title each day for like a week, then the thrill will last longer

edenJune 28th, 2009 at 1:49 am

the bearded man, he’s a Very Important Person from wichita…i think.

vanessaJune 28th, 2009 at 10:47 pm

I think the Wichita thing sounds the most legit… but I’m going to roll with the one where he is going to replace Aleks.. I think that sounds more fun. Thank you for responding!

YashJuly 2nd, 2009 at 3:10 pm

@Connor Yeah, knowing LC, that could last the 6 months…

and on that topic, 6 MONTHS? D: *cries in corner*

RickyJuly 4th, 2009 at 2:23 am

Oh my god, I love how they actually answer. :D

Do you think this will see any large retail release, cause it’s a bitch finding your music. If it was any other band, I’d have given up.

[...] bleibt eigentlich das nächste Album? Das letzte der Band liegt ja schon fast ein Jahr zurück. Ah, ist schon fertig, das gute Stück. Habe mir schon sorgen [...]

RyanJuly 6th, 2009 at 11:03 pm

Is the new guy changing his last name too?
