Worn Out Photos

November’s shaping up to be a busy month in EA land. We’re working on a bunch of new tunes for our forthcoming gig at the Wilmington Arms on 26 November. It’s also full steam ahead with our third EP. No release date yet, but stay tuned for more details when we get them.

In the meantime, here’s a demo of a tune that didn’t quite make the cut for the new EP, ‘Worn Out Photos’.

EA at the Psychedelic Double Bubble II

Last weekend we had a trip to Brighton to play the Put It On Psychedelic Double Bubble II at the Lectern with Diagonal, The Yellow Moon Band, Esben and the Witch, and the beat musings of Ben Graham. The highlight of the night for us were the amazing visuals created by Innerstrings Lightshow. We felt like Pink Floyd at the UFO club. Pscychedelic indeed.

More photos from the night can be seen here.

Red Arrow Wander

Born from the use of mallets and loops amongst other things, this tune was recorded during a rehearsal in September of 2008. We had a set plan for that day, to practice songs that were going to be used to form the soundtrack for a friend's film idea. Unfortunately, the film was put on indefinite hold - but those sessions produced moments we are very proud of - and this is one of them. A blissed-out paean to commemorate the passing of another hazed summer...

'White Splinter' EP available from Norman Records / Jim Dickinson / Do Make Say Think

The only place you can currently buy the remaining copies of our 'White Splinter' E.P. is from the fantastic Norman Records. They've got a stack of other awesome CD's waiting to be purchased, including Jim O'Rourke's bewitchingly tangled new release 'The Visitor'. So treat yourself to something you can hold as well as hear by visiting their on-line store.

It was very sad to hear that Jim Dickinson had passed away on the 15th August. His production work on Big Star's haunting and fractured 'Third/Sister Lovers' album is still some of the most inspiring I have ever heard - a pop record that is beautiful, joyous and disturbing in equal measures.

Happier news comes from the consistently outstanding Do Make Say Think - their new album 'Other Truths' is out on Constellation on 19/10/09. If this taster via Stereogum is anything to go by, my speakers are going to be very happy come October! Most exhilarating tune I've heard this year, so far...

Join The Dots / White Splinter reviewed

Here is another as-yet-unreleased track that we are really happy with, called 'Join The Dots'. We think it would be perfect as part of a soundtrack to a film...all we need to do now is find the perfect film to go with the tune! Hope you enjoy it...

In other news, the lovely people from Losing Today have written a review of 'White Splinter'. Some of the nice things said include...

"A pristinely honed slice of glacial sculpturing, all at once mellow and detached yet forlornly set in an inescapable bitter sweet ache of faded hope"

"A beautifully consuming kaleidoscopic dream weave of feedback ruptures and raptures"

"A gorgeously opining gem of sun bleached effects pedal laden bliss out groove"

...but you can read the full review by clicking here. You may have to scroll down the page to find it, but keep going until you see the video for 'Broken' - it's all there!

Mark from Losing Today has also posted another quick piece about us here. Once again, scroll down to the 'Heading For A Fall' video. Sweet!
