Yep, my next album ‘Like Dust of the Balance’, is now available to pre-order directly from Benbecula, to ship on the 20th of July. It’s quite far off, I’ll admit, but then if you order early enough you’ll have long forgotten by the time its release rolls around, and you can surprise your future self with a gift.

    wonderfull! nice work, will it be available for digital download anywhere? I’m gonna be one the road around July/August.

  4. Kristian says:

    Where can I listen to previews? I’m sure this will be fantastic, but I’d still like to listen before I buy you know :)

    Hey, it’s going to be a hot hot summer :)

    Cheers folks.

    @Kristian
    Yeah, I’d love to be able to get a full stream of the album up on Bandcamp, but I’d have to run that by the label.

  7. Chris says:

    Okay, that’s a no dice on the streaming. Well, 5 of the tracks are from Death of an Aura anyway, so feel free to have a listen to that instead. If you like that, chances are you’ll enjoy this too.

    So is ‘Napolese’ a modified version of ‘Napoli’? Didn’t realize there are so many repeat tracks. Listening to Lemodie today in celebration and looking forward to the new material.

  9. Chris says:

    Yep, it’s the same track, just with a different lead instrument take. I discovered some distortion in the original Napoli after it was mastered and sent for download, so we swapped the offending instrument with another take, but it sounded completely different. So, to avoid potential confusion we re-named it slightly for the album. It’s practically identical, just a slightly different mix.

    We did position DoaA as a taster for the new album—half of the album is 5/6ths of DoaA.

    What’s the packaging like for this one (digipak, jewel etc)? any chance of an lp?

  11. Chris says:

    It’s digipak this time, Nate, but no vinyl LP on the horizon at the moment. Too expensive (I still have copious amounts of AMND on vinyl that aren’t shifting — the CDs outsold these many times over).

    hey there chris,was expecting earlier the release but anyway i’ll try not to think about it and most off all to avoid any pre-listening of the new material (wherever it is avaliable) under any circumstances,till the original copy get’s to my hi-fi.looking forward to find some “infotain me”moments there!by the way what happened to your space profile? did you delete it?respect from greece alexandros

  13. Chris says:

    Thanks Alexandros. Yep, I deleted my MySpace page, after much deliberation. Apart from not wanting to be a part of the Empire, I thought it was time to try and focus on my own website rather than have the upkeep of various (anti)’social media’ outposts. Also, the player kept screwing up, skipping tracks half-way through. Plus the design is an utter CSS abomination, and I’m fed up with people using MySpace as a replacement for email, which it patently is not. Fed up with looking at Skins ads too. Besides, I’ll be 30 this year… I think MySpace virtually euthanises everyone over 30, Logan’s Run style. :) It’s had its day, all in all.

    Facebook is hanging on for the time being, as its music player works and the comments are free from spam (for the time being). Once that site takes a dive it’s having it’s plug pulled too.

  14. Nice one! Looking forward to this…
    and I did wonder where you disappeared to on Myspace.
    Hope all’s going swimmingly,
    Ant
