in other news, the album continues at a healthy trot, with red blooded males now in the bag (my good god, that track is an unholy racket). chris ware's building stories is out at the start of october, just in time for my birthday. nothing eases the passing of the years quite like a beautifully illustrated box-set chronicling an entire building's despair and self-loathing. i am giddy with anticipation.


here's today's achewood coming at you, getting mad rutty:

streetlights

streetlights in the mix today. this is abbie's favourite. abbie is a girl i know.

space guitar. dusty old piano chords. synthesisers. sounds like medium 21, the greatest british band that nobody (criminally) bothered to get around to listening to.

in other news, i got down to reading rocks radio for a cheeky little acoustic session with the lovely wes and jo. played montreal, saddle up son, calliope and a sneaky little cover. i'll try and get you a video soon.

lo-fi dogma project

featured below is the manifesto for the lo-fi dogma project, a swiss music project which has invited red kite to contribute to its london experiment.

lo-fi dogma is 'a recording manifesto for technical reduction in the production in the recording of music that dedicates itself to a style of recording that prioritise risk, immediacy and authenticity over certainty, cleanliness and hesitation'. all values very close to red kite's heart. it is a non-commercial project initiated by sound-development, a swiss private cultural patron institution.

we're pencilled in to record in october, so keep tabs here for more information and a heads up on where to hear the results.

more on the project (and some of the previous recordings) can be found at the website here.

it's going to be an alt-rock blast.
