The Soft Column CD Release...

We've had a great response to the download version of our new album, The Soft Column..

Huge thanks to everyone who has downloaded a copy so far! .. If you still haven't heard the album, it can still be downloaded here.

Some of you have been asking about a CD release (remember? those little plastic discs from the old days..)

We'll be releasing a limited number of CDs of the album on our Actual Size label very soon... It'll be available from this website as well as from CD Baby and Amazon... and probably nowhere else.

Be sure to join the mailing list to be kept up to date.

Album news

"The Soft Column" is the title of the new Leisur Hive album... We just have one more song to finish and then it will be ready! Stay tuned please. Listen to the songs "Interval1 " and "Magnetism" here: myspace.com/leisurhive In the meantime, a US-only compilation CD called "No Thieves, No Traitors" featuring tracks from most of our releases so far is about to be released. It should be up on CD Baby pretty soon. It's mostly previously released stuff, so recommened for "completists" only. Looks quite pretty though. :) More news soon. x Posted on 02 Dec 2007 by moth

HAPPY NEW YEAR

A very happy xmas/solstice/whatever to all of you and best wishes for 2007 from all of us here in this pit of tape.

COLDER WAR II at TESCO DISCO

We'll be performing at Tesco Disco, 43 South Molton St, London on Wednesday 20th December.  Also appearing will be Battant, The Light Brigade, plus films, art & DJs.  See the live page for more info, or go to: www.tescodisco.co.uk

 

A SORT OF UPDATE

We've been working on the new album and slowly preparing ourselves to come out of our summer hibernation.  We should have a rough mix or two for you to download pretty soon, but all we can say at the moment is that we're very pleased with the way everything is sounding and think you will be too.  One of the new songs is called 'The Chevalier Dent'.  Oh yes, those of you who have seen us live one or more times may like to know that 'He Ghostly' will be on this album - We've been playing it live for about 40 years now so it's about bloody time we committed it to "tape" as they say.

There will be some gigs to annouce soon too.  So stay tuned.
We're not dead or anything.

Love you lots,
Dan
