NEW COLONY

Hi,
We've been fine-tuning a batch of new recordings done with our good friend and aural adviser, David Allen. We have some shows in the works. We have even more songs leftover from the last few months which we're going to sit on and think about for a bit. This record has already taken shape. We're most likely going to call it New Colony. Here's why:
There is a world where the people worship the loudest, most despicable men and chastise the gentle and the artistically ambitious. We live there. The word artist is met with shitty, turned-up mouths. Smug, toothy grins between lips chapped red by the light from the television. Laugh. Pretend it was a joke. We don't talk about that here, we remember. It's the sort of colony where you can find pleasant, isolated little pockets of this or that if you want to cross the treacherous, land-mine-filled jelly doughnut of a walking path. Generations and generations of destroyers kicking builders in the guts with their designer boots.

It's hard to ignore, so we made a record about it.

More news as we have it,
David / Secondary Modern
