Getting Hard Listening Will Be Easy
Date: 19/11/09
The wizard of Odds himself, that Mephistopheles of the mixing desk Stuart Rowe, ringmaster of the LIGHTERTHIEF circus has been hunkered down with amazing masterer Jason Mitchell down at LOUD mastering in Taunton, UK. What have they been up to you may ask? Only putting the final tweaks to the brain melting epic new Lighterthief EP HARD LISTENING says I.

Boy, will you be in for a treat. Prepare to have your head flossed by such gems as MY DREAM SEA, the sonic equivalent of gargling with the entire Atlantic and its contents all at once,featuring vocals from APE's new musical mermaid Jen Olive {with just a little help from sailor boy Andy P}. One track even has former XTC key king Barry Andrews singing his insect head off on RUNNING WITH THE MOTHMEN, warning,you made need new new laundry after hearing this. The third killer kut on HARD LISTENING is a droning throb of a piece called SHINING SURFACE, a slab of monolithic modern buzzsaw psychedelia that should have you hovering up by the light fixtures in no time.

When Oh when, you cry, can I get my hands and ears on this? The answer is in no time at all. Keep your peepers on the news section and before you know whats happened you'll be able to download these latest sound jewels from this mixed up master of mangle. Coming soon faithful ones.
