Nalle have a new album "The Sirens Wave" out in March 2008 with Locust Music of Chicago. The debut album "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 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:

Hello. The new EP from daily misconceptions; "if i hug your sweaters will they get their colour back?" is now available for free download at Mimi. Enjoy and share it with your family, friends and lover(s).
"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)."
I've always thought that a golf course is an incredibly selfish use of land.
Thank you for the add, if you will excuse the conventional greeting. I hope that Peter Harris will be featuring more of your music on his show. I will pester him just in case, with e-mails and molotov cocktails.
HUMAN BELL (THRILL JOCKEY) : Nathan Bell (ex-Lungfish) and Dave Heumann (Arbouretum, Cass McCombs, Bonnie "Prince" Billy) dispense sun-baked, primitive blues instrumentals.
C JOYNES (BO'WEAVIL) : English heavy, thumb-lead finger-picker salutes dustbowl country, ragtime ragas and the Takoma school.
FUZZY LIGHTS: Cambridge trio combine ethereal drone, brushed folk and quantised cacophony.

Hello!! I thought that i would let you know that one of your tracks was played on Phonic FM last night on the Peter Harris show. It really stood out as one of the best things that i heard musically and apparently there were lots of emails flooding in to the show from people saying the same thing. I just got your 2 albums and i am loving them so much! Alice's Ladder is probably my favourite at the moment though! Much love, Anthony (Maelstrom).
Also, Mike Hastings EP out now on Lucky Number Nine Records. Available from Mono, Avalanche, Oxfam Music and online from www. luckynumbernine. co. uk (shameless self promotion!)
you guys are great I really love your music it was wonderful to see you play and to hang out with you I am wishing you all the best with everything thanks a lot!!
