Back to Toybox Studios

On Friday the 15th of May we had the joy of going back to Toybox studios. The last time we were there was back when we recorded 'Falling for Orpheus', which was when we first fell in love with the studio.

It was great to be able to work with Stef Hambrook as our producer again – as well as providing lots of coffee to fuel Anja's caffeine addiction, he just ‘gets’ our sound, which is so important to us and makes the world of a difference.


We spent a long ten hours in Toybox, but once we had started we just couldn't seem to stop! It’s always so fun recording new material and seeing something that started out as just a small idea growing in front of us. It’s also exciting to wait and see what everyone will think!
It turned out to be a wonderfully efficient day, and we returned home with more than we could originally have hoped for – always a definite bonus.

 

 Although we won’t say too much about our new recorded material yet, keep an eye out on our social media sites and website for more updates!

Month of May

Seeing as we have been working on a lot of ‘behind the scenes’ material this month, here’s an update on what we've been (and will be) up to!

We kicked off the month with a wonderful gig in the Colston Hall Foyer. It was a pleasure to be back, and we were so delighted with the amount of support – it really does mean a lot.


Last week we took a trip to Devon with film makers Scott Quinn and Corry Raymond to create a new music video. Director and editor Scott has been working his magic on the footage and we can’t wait to show everyone!

What we've been spending most of our time on is preparing to go into the studio tomorrow. We've been recording a range of demos for a while now, trying to shortlist which new track we all feel is the right one.


All of us are so excited to record again, and those pre-studio butterflies are starting to settle in! It’s going to be so exciting to be able to share something new with you, so keep a look out on our website for information and updates.

At the end of the month on the 30th, we will be playing at the Old Theatre Royal for the Bath Fringe Festival. Playing alongside us will be Cindy Stratton and Marius Frank with special guest Ellie Frank. The Old Theatre Royal is a beautiful venue and we can’t wait to play there! Tickets are available direct from the Fringe Festival website.


All in all it’s an exciting month, and further updates on everything mentioned will be available from our website and social media sites.

Another Video Shoot!

On Monday we went down to North Devon again to film another music video for our album. This time, however, we didn't go overboard crazy and create dresses, run about the woodland and build giant fires. This time we took the more normal approach to music videos.


It was lovely to work again with filmmakers Scott Quinn and Corry Raymond, who’s professional and experienced approach made the experience feel really grounded.


Although we can’t say too much now, keep your eyes peeled for later on this month…


The aftermath of shooting.
