The artwork has now been created, the tracks have been mastered and everything has been sent off to Discwizards.com where we're getting 300 printed up.
We played around with several ideas when trying to think of a cover for the EP, and decided to go for a mix of both our heads blended into one. Originally it was going to split it straight down the middle, but after playing in Photoshop we discovered it was more interesting if it wasn't exact. So although the top half is an even split, Kim's nose is more dominant, it's Marcus's upper lip and Kim's beard.
That was quite fun, but then we played with aging it - sepia toning and a mold-speckled glass overlay - and then it leapt to life like some bizarre Edwardian creation. We knew we had the cover we wanted.
On Friday 13th March, we're going to be officially launching the EP with an event at The Gordon House Hotel in Kirckudbright. As a wee taster of the EP, we've put together a short video of photos of us performing and about 40 second bursts of each of the 3 tracks.
On the day of the launch you'll be able to buy CDs or download the tracks online. But if you're in the area, do come along to see us play live.
And if you don't live elsewhere in the world, then we're open to travelling if you fancy being our manager for the country you live in :)
