I can tell when an album is getting closer. We start assembling a look book.

I'm not gonna explain this one, but there ya go.

So we are basically in 3 modes: 1 group of tracks are getting final polish before official 'review'.

The next group are out with Ben and AJ, and that's in their time mode.

That brings us to the Problem Song group and the New Easier More Appealing group. Given the ups and downs of weather, COVID and post COVID effects on time frames, this remains an uncollapsed quantum state. Could be we have a break though on the tough ones, in which case, whammo.

Or new stuff comes together fast - that happens - see Chase the Dragon for example, or onward traveller.

Some stuff takes longer to cook :)

Can't say. This one has mutated so hard it's impressive in its inability to be categorised. Work continues though, that's as it should be.

Live gigs too. New stuff. Are we even gonna play some of this weirder stuff live? Where are we gonna get a trumpet player from. And the sitar?

So many questions. Your card, lobster.

I took the opportunity to put all the tracks into a play list and have a listen through. That's a good sign.

Some stuff is still pretty bare bones tho, and it would be famous last words to predict how long it will take to complete the last stuff.

AJ is working on 2, Ben is working on 1, I have 4 at 'mixed-or-close-to-it' stage and 2 finished, with three more in 'likely to arrive soon' state.

Word got out. People have noticed we're back in the studio. Oops. I figured we have been hiding in plain sight for so long that no one was looking :)

This is the most diverse album since Curious Assembly. Good to see we haven't settled down yet.

I am way too cautious to put a time frame on it. It's taken a while. Yeah. 

Meanwhile imma do some more cheap videos.

We're trying to get the next eps of downtime back online. Covid, weather, etc etc, has not been easy to organise. Oh and big ups to Cellar Dweller P. for his riotous success. Nice to know we have fans in high places.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, but we have shows in the wild. With people. As long as....fingers crossed right?
