Fanatical Love gets 4 stars in this month’s Artrocker

We recently recorded a live session for Jen Long and popped into the studio last week to chat about our album, tour and Bill Murray. The challenge was to use the words ‘aghast’ ‘shamrock’ and ‘ramshackle’ in the interview….

This weekend I joined the Kutosis and Samoans guys for a couple of days on their tour round the UK. The Kutosis ‘Fanatical Love’ album launch took place at Clwb Ifor Bach on Friday (I did the cover for the album; see it here), then we made our way to Manchester and Bristol before returning home for an interview with Jen Long on her BBC Introducing in Wales show. 

Great hectic couple of days - it was my birthday on the Sunday so things got a little van-drunk. Don’t think anyone at the BBC noticed though (cough).

THE DVD VERSION OF THE ALBUM IS NOW SOLD OUT BUT YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE VIDEO’S ON OUR VIMEO CHANNEL HERE

So we wanted to do something a bit different for our debut album and getting 11 film makers to produce a video for each track seemed a great idea (thank you Liars ‘Drums Not Dead’). 

The entire album is now up to stream and buy HERE, and comes with a  special edition limited to 50 copies DVD/CD version featuring all the video’s and a DVD only track ‘Moon’ which stars a video game version of Bill Murray and Ellen Page saving the world from evil robots!
