Nalle are currently recording a new album..... Their last record "The Sirens Wave" came out in March 2008 with Locust Music of Chicago. Their debut "By Chance Upon Waking" is still available (www.pickled-egg.co.uk). A collaboration with the One Ensemble is also in the process of being mixed by Hans Joachim Irmler of Faust and The Family Elan is also busy working on a second album after the debut "Stare of Dawn" released last year. The band supports the deities of wild 'beasts' and stands firmly against the encroachment of golf courses upon our beautiful landscape (and other similar violations).
You can listen the Nalle live at the VPRO Dwars festival, Amsterdam, by visiting the following link:

O the cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles and sings
Meantime, round these parts its the blackbirds and the doves that rule the garden roost. I can hear 'em now through the skylight. Crows on the village edge, herons over the fields and ditches.
