Our brand new single is released TOMORROW! The tracks were skilfully recorded and engined by Charles Rees and mastered perfectly by James Stone at Black Barn Studios. We cant thank you two enough for making it sound as snappy and crisp as it does! We are not worthy! Thanks to the gifted Steve Cradock for playing guitar on December Forever and taking the track to a whole new level for us. Derek DSouza took the wonderful promotional pictures and cover art, we had a very short time scale and Derek stepped in and captured the most magical shots for us (the jumping shot was all his idea!) and we cant thank him enough for helping us with his talent. Also massive thanks to Marcus James Palmer, Charlotte Briggs and Kieron George Yeoman for helping create the perfect music video for A Better Life - we are all so pleased with it! Having to look at and edit intensely close-up shots of my face for sessions that ran for hours on end is not an easy task and your bravery in this field is appreciated. Thanks to Adam at Heavy Soul Records for giving us the chance to release our music on his very highly regarded label and thanks to Delicious Junction and Merc (+ Richie) for providing us with suave clobber to hide the fact we all secretly live in wolf fleeces. Thank you to all the radio shows who have played the track (Tommy, The Ice Cream Man, Captain Stax- youre all diamonds and we love ya!) Special thanks are in order to Mr. Steve Parter. A few months ago we were all over the place as a band - you may have read in the paper about Shauns digestive addiction but thats just the tip of the iceberg. Steve quickly stepped in, whipped us into shape and helped bring us together as a unit. Steve has been a godsend to us and we couldnt have done it without you! Manager/Roadie/Merch Man/ even sometimes Groupie (but well keep that one secret, eh? )- youre always there. Thank you for not giving up on us and always offering a solution when things go the way of the pear. A massive thanks to Mr. Paul Weller for letting us use his studio and for always listening and believing in The Good Ship Lostie-Pop. If my 13 year old self knew Id be typing that now Id probably need peeling off the ceiling. Finally, thank you to all of you! Every single person who listened, shared the video or said something nice. You all make it worthwhile. Please take 3 minutes to watch and share the video as much as you can as I want this single to get out there as much as possible, matter and mean something to people. The song comes from a very personal place to me and if it speaks to somebody else then I consider that a success. It doesnt have to get in the charts to mean something, as long as people hear it, dig it and get it stuck in their heads while theyre doing the big shop at Tesco - Ill take that! Please please keep on sharing and in return well keep providing you with the best music we can. Cubs promise! Single is out tomorrow and the gig launch is at Joiners. Were supporting Syd Arthur- come along, theyre great! Enjoy the tunes! x
