It is with regret that we have to announce the Shhh event on Sunday 1 Aug is cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control. Those who have bought tickets will be refunded, and there will be an opportunity for these people to get a reduced price ticket for the next Shhh! which is scheduled for Saturday 22 January 2011. More info to be found at http://www.localism.org.uk
This Sunday (1st of August) we’re playing there at 3pm:
“Shhh is standing up against the noise mongers of the world and hitting back with an all day celebration of quiet music. Taking place in the beautiful surroundings of Cecil Sharp House in Camden, North London the event will be a chance for performers and audience alike to come together in quiet unison. Now into its fourth year (and the second installment of 2010!), starting at The Spitz back in who knows when, The Local has presented all manner of the quiet stuff in sympathetic surrounds, and the good news is: everyone listens.”
With our good friends at Little Red Rabbit, we made a video for “Things we left behind”. Hope you like it! Fuzzy Lights - Things We Left Behind from Fuzzy Lights on Vimeo.
Our new album, “Twin Feathers” will be released on the 16/08 on Little Red Rabbit Records as a CD and double LP. Here’s the track listing:
1. Obscura
2. Fallen Trees
3. Through Water
4. The Museum Song
5. Lucida
6. Rituals
7. Shipwrecks
8. Slowing Time
9. The Sea & The Heather
We’re really stoked to announce we have been invited to play at the End of the Road Festival in September. Some of us went in the last couple of years and it’s really one of the best festivals around, it’s on a beautiful site and has a truly special and magic atmosphere.
This year the festival site will open on the Thursday and there will be music from that day with a secret headliner and loads of amazing bands, so it’s a good idea to stay the whole 4 days. We’re still sorting out the exact date and time we’re going to play and will keep you posted as soon as we know!
END OF THE ROAD FESTIVAL, 09-12th September 2010
This year’s End of the Road Festival will be the fifth instalment of a very special event that won Best New Festival at the UK Festival Awards 2006. It’s an intimate affair, which takes place at the beautiful Larmer Tree Gardens in North Dorset. The festival has a unique selection of music over four stages with bands including Wilco, Modest Mouse, Yo La Tengo, Black Mountain, Felice Brothers, Iron & Wine, Wolf Parade, Caribou and more playing amongst specially curated comedy and cinema tents, a mysterious library and piano in the woods, a Healing Retreat, Swedish Viking games, a wide range of delicious local and organic food, as well as the lovely company of free roaming peacocks and parrots. Come join us!

In autumn earlier this year we set off to an old barn in the middle of the Lake District with acoustic instruments and some recording equipment. During the couple of days we spent there we wrote and recorded some songs. “Helm” is the result of that, it will be released on Little Red Rabbit Records on the 7th of June and features artwork by Gemma Lacey beautifully printed on a chipboard record sleeve.
You can pre-order it from us here.
There will be more info about Helm in the new blog section in the next couple of days, along with track excerpts.
In other news, welcome to the world Noah Watkins, born 21/03/10!
hey all! We’ve got a couple of bits of news we’d like to share with you, the main one being that Rachel is 30 weeks pregnant, so we’re going to take a break from touring and gigging for a few months. We’re doing one last show in February in Cambridge, with Felix, who’ve recently released an album on Kranky and make the most beautiful music. If you haven’t heard them yet … well, you should. The show is on the 12th of February (so you can already pencil that date in the agenda you got for xmas), and will take place in St Paul’s church in Cambridge, perfect setting for what promises to be a great night. Here’s a link to the facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=234768579583&ref=mf And to the tickets (only £5 if you buy in advance): http://www.wegottickets.com/event/67648 The other big news is that 2010 should also see the release of our next album, follow up to A Distant Voice, on which we’ll be actively working during the break from touring we are taking. We’ll keep you posted on that, along with something else we’ve been working on… That’s it for now, take care and have a happy new year all of you! Fuzzy Lights.
This Sunday we’re playing a semi-acoustic set at the Union Chapel in London, as part as the Daylight Music series. More information if you follow the link below.
