Happy Neu Year !!!
whatevah. it's so freezing. the impending ice age is coming and it's all our parent's fault.
i hope somebody, somewhere is hatching an ingenious plan to save the world otherwise...
DUN D UN DUH


We're now well + truly rested. And have started work on The House of Supreme Mathematics a.k.a The Stables a.k.a H.O.M.E.
we've been plastering walls, arguing over the best bedroom, carrying out rusty ovens and assembling an armoury the like of which has never been seen before..definitely not in Oxxxford. My brother gave me loads of old school hip hop for xmas so Ol' Dirty Bastard and Dre have been the primary aural treat of the last few weeks.

Work is continuing on writing the next record. Which is sounding less and less surf the colder it gets. surprisingly. I'm willing to buy sunshine off any friendly mammals in the Southern Hemisphere...RSVP

Anyway I figured it's time to embrace the transparency of the Modern World (TM) and expose some snippets of what we've been working on. I think Jimmy will start doing the same when he's back from his Alpine Adventure Holiday. Most of this stuff is me messing round late at night lonely on a loop pedal. It's for the most part formless and semi-instrumental. Figures i guess.....Anyway i thought it's be exciting to open the process to y'all as it goes on... so expect lots more stuff popping up on here:

A FUTURE DUB
A FUTURE DUB DEUX

XCFAVA

And here's an early version of Glaciers (which we kinda prefer actually) : DOWNLOAD HERE


Love
Yannis

Yannis... thanks for sharing with everybody.

I love this lo-fi echo/contemplative approach to these loops (which ties in well with Glaciers) which all seems to point in a really interesting direction.

In a word: Fantasmic.

ICE AGE i think not. ....It's stinking hot. I would rather it be cold. I say we swap ... You can have the 45 degree heat that Australia is and i'll take anything below 0. I think it's a fair swap. Even in winter the coldest it's ever gotten in 7 or something. ....Ooo coming out of your winter shell and into new stuff! fantastic!

Wow... I played these all back to back and put them on repeat. I live in Tempe, AZ- where it rarely rains... but, it's overcast today... and it started sprinkling a bit while the music was on. Nice... so fitting. Love Glaciers... Hope 2009 is wonderful for all of you... come to Phoenix! P.S. My husband often sees a guy that says he was on the road with you all awhile back... think his name is... Ameinke Quinn. Anyway... we were excited to meet him since he's also a Foals fan. Please come to Phoenix sometime... we really love you here. :)

Very nice, gettin' everyone excited about new songs in 2009! The vocals on XFAVA are very "radiohead-like", likin' it! I also like the vocal on "A future Dub Deux", HYPNOTIC. Can't wait to hear more!! Thanks, ROSS GALLAGHER.

You should make the humming in 'A future Dub Deux' a few octaves higher, then it will sound more like beach music.
