Hello everyone,

Just stopping by to give you a little update on the progress of the album.
We spent three very fun and exciting weeks recording during January. We've got the majority of the album finished but there's still some tweaking to do and some parts to add. We've recorded a lot of it live (i.e. with everyone playing at the same time) which was a challenge but definitely very satisfying. Next month is crunch time because we're going to be finishing the recording and starting the mixing. We're looking forward to releasing the finished article into the wild. Hopefully you'll like it! There's no set date yet but watch this space. As soon as we're back in the studio we'll also be putting lots more photos and videos up. Anyway, that's enough rambling for now.

Love,

M.D.

ps Forgot to mention, there may be some gigs coming up from April onwards so keep your eyes peeled, as they may be low-key. But hopefully not off-key. Sorry, muso joke. Not funny.

Here are a couple of photo’s from yesterday with Mt. Desolation. Song’s are shaping up nicely. Tom Hobden was in laying down some more fiddle tracks in the morning though most of the day was concerned with Jesse recording various vocal, bass and banjo parts. What next I thought? Is he gonna play the kitchen sink too? The nose flute?? Tim was often to be found in another room composing harmonies. The day and night ended with a meal in a nearby pub. Last I saw of Jesse he was tinkering away with a mandolin…

John's friend Ryann flew into London but her brother forgot to pick her up so she kindly came and sang some backing vocals for us. She normally sings with Blood Cells and Schoolyard Heroes back in Seattle.

Hiya guys,

Just passing by to tell you Mt. Desolation, whose website you can visit here is involving Mr. Rice-Oxley in news lately.
What's Mt. Desolation? well, keane fans suppose it's Tim's new project... remember Tim's Xmas podcast for Beyond The Iron Sea? That one! He talked about his participation in a new project but nothing else for keeping it top secret.

These days, Mt. Desolation's website has been publishing some pics, and of course I had to upload the Tim ones for your pleasure.

Let's wait for the future...
