Borland

Hi

My electronica band, Borland, have our debut album available to buy online right now. It's an eclectic mix of skittish electronic beats, warm synths, soft guitars and piano madness, with the occasional cut-up vocal thrown in for good measure.

It is available here:

Or if you're in the UK, have a look on the UK Amazon site. It's also available at a shedload of other places, that I will link to later. Thanks!

Broken jaws, unfinished albums

A few weeks ago, our multi-instrumentalist cheeky-boy Wes got assaulted on a night out and got his jaw broken in two places, which meant that he had to have surgery and lots of rest. He's had another bit of surgery this weekend so it's meant that we've had to pull out of a few shows, so sorry if you were coming to any of them and didn't see us there.

While he's been in a bed either at his home or at hospital, we did a little more recording with Jon Fearon from the lovely band The Longcut. We finished off the guitars (finally!) and we started work on the trombone/flugle/trumpet sections, which sound pretty sexy so far. I also got to go nuts with a megaphone and lots of delay on one of the weirder songs on the record called "Cosmic Horse" and started work on a really nice synth song which will lead into the last couple of songs on the record.

We just need to get back in and finish up work on the brass then hopefully that'll be the end of it and we can finally get it out and stop stressing so much about it. This is the longest we've ever spent on recording and it's both frustrating and rewarding in equal measures. If anyone wants to just give us some money to help us fund completing the fucker we'd be very very appreciative!

Weekends

Thanks to everyone who came to see us with Cats And Cats And Cats, Cats In Paris and Ladycop over the weekend. We had a lot of fun at the house party on Saturday, then more good, clean fun in Preston the following night. It was good! They are all super awesome dudes.

We will be finishing off the recording of our forthcoming album next week. Playing the songs live over the weekend got me really excited about it - even though when we play them live they are a bit messy and raucous, on disc they sound pretty lovely.

Thanks a lot to Chris and his girlfriend for the totally mint sticker they gave us! Unicorns are pretty mysterious. As are we.

Anyway, time to get back to work.

Losing my mind

I think I'm losing my mind waiting for our album to be finished. It's taking such a long time, the longest we've ever spent on a record. Which is good, cos it means we're not rushing things like we have in the past. But I'm getting impatient now. I want to it to be ready now. I want people to hear it. I am immensely proud of what we have so far. I just wish we had the money to complete it.

We finally have a title for it too. It's well good. Check out this video with our mate Dr. J

So long, old pal

Thanks for the smoke

First post

So, this is our blogging page.
I'm sure things will be put up on it at some point soon.

We're still working on our third record, which currently has no name.

Our gig last night got shut down by the police before we got to play, which sucked hard. We can now add that to the long list of stupid things that have happened to us over the past four years or so. It's not like we were having a Skins party or owt. Weird feelings today for sure.

Anyway, here's Peaches Geldof showing off her amazing vocal talents with her equally amazing band. God, I love her band. Aren't they brilliant?
