So, we've reached the end of 2007; what a year!

This time last year we were in the process of recording AITDRM at Jean Pierre's studio in the freezing cold. Brrr!

The response we got from the release at the Son'Art in Bordeaux in March was unexpected and really quite touching. The amount of work from everyone involved was super-human to get the whole project from inside brains to disc, that's for sure.

Then followed winning the Pop 33 competition at Salle Tatry, a venue that we came to love as it suited having 6 of us on stage at the same time. The lights, the smoke, the sound. Romain's photos. Long may the venue live on.

Signing a deal with Hidden Shoal Recordings was a serious highlight for the group, a culmination of our ambition, and some recognition that we were at least pleasing some people outside of Bordeaux! Cam and his team opened doors for us that we never imagined possible. These guys are the best kind of people you could wish to work with and to have fighting your corner.

Their work got us in touch with Jimmy and Frida who we worked with to make the video for AITDRN - a project none of us will forget taking part in.

And so what next? The EP is still making news:

As for the group, expect to see a slightly changed line-up next year, full of new ideas, songs and soundscapes.

Have a great Christmas and New Year, you deserve it.

Best wishes from us all.
