Seasons greetings to all our fellow cellar dwellers and to the burgeoning confused mass of humans having a rough time in a strange period.

No useful words of praise can we offer, fewer trifling phrases of comfort seem meaningful against a tide of discontent.

Every soul carries the universe with it, sometimes unnoticed by ourselves, that each of us possesses the vast and infinite resources of that which has brought us into being.

Our species has struggled from its childhood emotions into better states of mind and yet the ills of the species reassert themselves time and again, these traits carried in genetic and memetic envelopes to be opened and chosen from by each generation.

The most powerful punch ever thrown was the one that was never thrown. The closed fist that opened.

So to with our hearts, not to be withheld or locked. Such fences keep the possessor on the outside too.

It seems a strange balance in a universe teeming with life to have such awfulness in it. That one is for a mind of a higher calibre than mine to explain, but if I cannot comprehend, I can feel, and I feel sure that there is a vast ocean of what is good and right within.

Kindness surely is the most powerful force of all, and the supreme manifestations of love can only preserve what they care for.

In this time of changes, may what you love be preserved through your choice to be kind.

In 2025, with love from the fellers in the cellar.

Well that was fast.

Had a chat to the studio dude and got some vibes and some data.

Studio setting is rural coastal area up near Nymboida. This is a good vibe for Mr Wizard.

The Studio is an analogue festishists guitar amp barn and some old school (omg old school?) solid state digital recorders.

Whole old wooden house is the recording studio, it's all about resonance and combined frequencies, in a nod to our work at mangrove mountain.

This was recorded with an early line up, live, to tape, at Mangrove Mountain Community centre, a 100 year old wooden hall. The resonance is awesome.

1. target window - last 2 weeks in feb, exact date tba

2. crew will be whoever wants to go +/- Mal Forrester (our original live bassist) + Guests

3. Production process is still unclear. Studio is a much more ...organic...place. My vibe is yay but we have some challenges. I expected to record onsite and then return it here to mix but...well...maybe it's right to let it go back to an external mixer. We'll see. To be fair my concern is the $ not the control. Like I said we're 'practical' on production spend.

4. This now gives us almost 3 months to have songs ready to go. That's about right.

This feels loose enough to be a guide and tight enough to begin to crystallise into specific actions.
