Some New Music On The Way

The new EP is more or less done with an iTunes exclusive release just around the corner.

Tracks:

1. Cello - An instrumental piece a'la 'Separation' and 'Alaska'

2. Ingenue (Different) - We enhanced the percussion elements quite a bit, removed the dodgy synth sound and replaced it with a pretty minimal electric piano, and Rebecca resang some of the vocals. A version far superior to the original, I think.

3. Albatross - This song was originally intended to be on the album but we really couldn't find a place for it. We've played it live a few times and it always sounds really good to me. I'm happy it's finally getting out there.

4. One Sunny Day - 'Separation' from the new album is actually the instrumental coda to this song. We wrote this at the same time as 'The Ratio Of Freckles To Stars' and 'Ingenue' but revisited several times before resting on this version. The ambient noises throughout are a very good example of one of Count's big strengths.

5. Night Divides The Girls - Also written around the time of 'Freckles' etc, this song is one I really enjoy - the middle part in particular.
