We've had some questions regarding the new record and rather than reply to them individually, I'm gonna address them in the style of an FAQ...

What are the songs like? Heavier like on PRV?
Some are. Some aren't. I can tell you they're a lot more concise. Most are around the two-minute mark, but they seem longer because there's so much packed into them. Some of the stuff's heavier and faster than anything we did on PRV, but there's also some stuff that's as melodic as on Further. I reckon it's the best thing we've ever done...

Is Leo painting the cover?
Maybe not! He's been pretty busy of late with his art, but we might be looking at giving another Sydney artist a look in with the cover art. More details to come!

What's it called?
Dunno yet!

What's the track listing?
There's no track listing confirmed but a list of working titles for the songs may peek your interest...
Perfect Teeth, Perfect Hair, Perfect Smile
Art Fucked By Corporations
Men Adore You
Modern Boy
Bitter And Rough
Communication
Gallipoli
Monsters
Super-Relax-o
Please Leave Quietly

How was it recorded?
Really simply. Straight onto a 2 inch 24 Studer tape machine. There were no super expensive mics used, and very little preamps. Compression was achieved by slamming the signal to hard to tape, so apart from the odd bit of outboard compression here and there, the sounds on the record are as pure as the driven snow. This time around, our aim was to avoid compression, EQ, delay, reverb and other "colourations" like the plague. It was mixed straight from the tape machine through a very modest console onto the CD you'll be listening to. There are also no overdubs, edits, pitch-shifting or sound replacing. It might sound rough to some, but to our ear, it sounds exactly like a record should. Well done Neil!

When is it released?
Soon. It hasn't been mastered yet, so it probably won't be out until June...

Thanks for your interest... Matt

No super expensive mics? Tell that to my accountant.

He he, shows what I know. Sorry Neil, I'll make a retraction. "There were some lovely and very expensive ribbon mics used"
