I write to you today from the control room of a lovely studio on the Holloway Road in London, where we have today completed all recording work on the new album.

It's called 'Cry of the Hunters', and should be with you in May or June. We love it, and hope you will.

There are eleven songs on it, we'll let you know what they are once we've decided what order to put them all in. These things are crucial to making a decent album.

We're currently working on a monitor mix of one called 'All This Time'. We've spent the day recording through the microphone used to record the vocals on Coldplay's Viva la Vida... so now I've used Radiohead's mic and Coldplay's mic. Doing well, doing well.

Now is the time to buy tickets for the show on the 27th of February at the Camden Barfly. We're very excited about it and will be playing a large chunk of the new record, including some songs for the very first time.

Thanks to everyone for waiting this long; it seems that once again we've taken over a year to make an album. We never thought we'd be that slow, but listening to the album I'm glad we are, and I promise it'll be worth the wait.

Over and out,

Max
