We did some filming over the weekend for a video that will make up one of 11 to accompany our forthcoming album Fanatical Love, the launch of which will be screened at Cardiff’s Chapter Arts Centre in November.

Despite running around Cardiff on the weekend of September 11th wearing some very dubious masks and fake moustache’s, we managed to avoid the attention of the authorities, here’s a little taster…

Queen were pretty ace* and we’d love to say that it was cleverly orchestrated on our part to have our new single released on the same day that it would have been Freddie Mercury’s birthday**. It wasn’t, it is just a coincidence.

Anyway onto business, our new double AA side single is available to download as of today as a pay what you want download:

It features two tracks taken from our forthcoming album ‘Fanatical Love’***. The single is also still available as a super limited edition cassette tape.

Get downloading, yeah!!

* we’ve previously covered the Freddie Mercury classic ‘Living On My Own’ at a Valentines Day show:

** he would be have been 65 today

*** due for release 14/11/2011

As of today you can pre-order our brand new AA-side single from Barely Regal Records. 

It features two exclusive tracks (Shadows & Skin) from the forthcoming album ‘Fanatical Love’ and comes as an ultra limited edition pre-order package deal which includes a blue cassette tape version (limited run of 30), t-shirt and instant digital download.

All pre-orders will ship immediately, meaning you’ll get to hear/own the single before the official release date on the 5th September.

Here’s the video for Shadows by Lt Meat:

Lots to announce so here goes…

The video for Shadows will be previewed at Chapter Arts Centre this coming Monday (1^st Aug) at the next Movie Maker night

We’re also thrilled to be working on an amazing project with the organisers of Chapter Movie Maker, details are as follows: 

KUTOSIS album launch: film makers wanted! 

Cardiff art-punk heroes KUTOSIS will be launching their long-awaited debut album Fanatical Love this November. 

To celebrate, the band will be hosting an album launch night in conjunction with Chapter Moviemaker, and the band want to harness the creativity of Welsh film-makers to provide a video for each song on the album.

Selected film-makers will be notified on 17^th August. If you are selected, you will be sent the song in full along with further details and lyrics.

I’ve been working on album and single artwork for my good friends KUTOSIS . We first started talking about the designs waaaay back in December after Simon Ayre and I took some photos of the band in snowy Bute Park.

Some original designs I did were really stark black and white with…

Some forthcoming single details HERE, including a peak at the artwork by Croatoan Design.

Over the weekend we went down to London to finish the recording of our album with Rory Brattwell.  Over the course of 3 days we recorded a further seven tracks and did a fair bit of mixing.  Final mixing will be carried out soon and we’ll keep you updated with progress and happenings.

Thanks to Dan and Matt for coming along and also a special thanks to D&T’s Cafe for some great breakfasts, especially the ‘bubble.

In the meantime, here is Ian recording a spoken part for ‘Forever New Skin’.
