The first reviews of “Twin Feathers” are starting to emerge in the press: 4 stars and “Underground Album of the Month” in MOJO Magazine, 4 stars in UNCUT and Artrocker!
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.”
Here’s a taster for “Twin Feathers”, which is now available for pre-order. Pre-orders will be dispatched one week before the release date and include a free mp3 track to download.

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!
