So... the end of 2009 looms........

Thanks to everyone who stuck with us this year (during our lack of apparent activity), put on our shows, came along to them and continued to buy and listen to our music. We've been very busy behind the scenes ensuring 2010 starts with a bang.

Air Formation will be 10 years old and we are planning to get out there and celebrate. We look forward to seeing as many of you as we possibly can, it's gonna be an exciting year for all of us.

Here are some important dates for your diary.

Low December Sun 7" & Download Single 16/02/10
 
Nothing To Wish For (Nothing To Lose) CD Album 01/03/10


Merry Christmas

&

Happy New Year

Matt, Ben, Richard, James & Ian.

One thing that always causes confusion for the more northern correspondents of DiS is finding the venue, and with six exits to choose from as we leave Piccadilly Underground Station, we naturally take the wrong one and end up having to politely ask a newsagent for directions. We make it just in time for the dazzling opening performance of Brighton's Air Formation on the first night (Thursday 26th). Having long been considered something of a mysterious anomaly, largely due to their reluctance to play more than a handful of gigs anywhere further north than here, their set - consisting entirely of new material from forthcoming album Nothing To Wish For (Nothing To Lose) (due in March 2010) - was as blissfully aesthetic as one would expect from a band previously responsible for 2007's underrated Daylight Storms. Lead single 'Low December Sun' shows a more poppier side than before, while the gorgeous finale of 'Distant Silhouettes' is simply mesmerising. Next spring really can't come soon enough.

Thanks to those of who came along early to catch us at Reverence #2 last week, it was great to play a set of entirely new songs and fantastic they were all so well received...

We're playing at The Luminaire, London for Club AC30's Xmas party in just over two weeks and have been working our way through a few songs we've not played fo a while..

Hopefully see you there.....

Current mood:All Lost
Been a busy few days... Starting with the 'All In The Golden Afternoon' show on Thursday in London which was fantastic... I'm very lucky to have such wonderful and talented friends.. they played a psyched-out drone fest of a set which included Sean from Monster Movie joining them perform a Monster Movie track... Pretty special stuff if you asked me....

On Friday the new Air Formation album was mastered at Air Mastering by Ray Staff (Bowie, Led Zep, Spiritualized.....!! WTF!!!). This is getting really exciting now... I think it will soon be time to put you all out of your misery.....

Also, for those of you coming along to the Chapterhouse show.. Doors are 7pm we will be on at 7:30pm sharp.. 

Laters.....

We are in the very final stages of mixing the album, only a few very minor bits to sort out, and then we're done...

The album will have 11 tracks and reflects all the things we love about music, more so than any Air Formation album that's gone before.... There will be noisy epic tracks side by side with 3min pop songs (well.. as 'pop' as Air Formation will ever go), you might even be able to sing along..?!?! In places it will be rawer but in others crystal clear.. every song is different to the last yet they all compliment each other so well... and to top it off it's all underpinned by Air Formation's renowned dark and brooding undercurrent.....

We're very excited about you all hearing it.

Last night we finished recording the album... The mixing will start next week. Every time I hear it the more excited I get. I know for sure I could not have put anything more into it......

Had a very productive day with Pat yesterday, some of the songs now have vocals, we're off up later today to continue..

This album will have more feedback and distortion than the last one, but in places it'll be far sparser and intricate.....  We have lot's of different sounds and vibes going on which is gonna take the listener on quite a journey......  we hope. ;)

Will not be long until the mixing starts...
