Next album released on David Sylvian’s Samadhisound label...

Yes, yes y'all... The cogs are grinding and creaking their way back into motion, and the somewhat neglected machinery of our blogs and updates is noisily coming back to life. Actually, I say neglected, but we've got a good excuse. In fact... lots of excuses. So, here they all are, and I just hope they're enough to avoid a detention or a sound thrashing.

First off then... the record. SBP are pleased to announce that their new album 'Twice Born Men', which is now finished, mastered and almost ready to go, will be released early next year on David Sylvian's Samadhisound label, with artwork by the amazing Tacita Dean, and you can get a little taster of how it will look here on the holding page of our forthcoming website.

We've also been playing some shows, notably in Madrid (where we landed a very nice review in their national paper El Pais) and in the breathtaking new London venue, King's Place, as part of the UK Punkt festival in November. It was a great experience... We got to meet and remix Norwegian trumpet royalty Arve Henriksen, shake hands with Jon Hassell, drink beer with and ask John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin to explain that weird bit in 'Black Dog' (more confused than ever, now), and then we got remixed by pedal steel legend BJ Cole (The Verve, David Sylvian). A thrilling couple of days.

So, there you go. Lots on. Lots more to come. We'll be back in a bit.
