A little message by Ruth Theodore

Mon, 02 Nov 2009

I'm really very happy to say that White Holes Of Mole Hills is having its finishing touches and will be handed over for mastering at the very beginning of next week which means we're on target for the 1st February release date!

Album artwork is in full swing but won't go for manufacture for a week or two and I managed to make a music video along the way.

About a month ago my sister, and 3dgoat film crew (Leah and Fionn drove in a camper van down to the isle of Purbeck in Dorset.We stayed the night and got drunk in the local pub before heading to sea with a bath tub strapped to the back of the van, a 'set' of smelly crabs legs dangling out the window and a large pane of glass that we kept loosing cause it was so clean. The plan was to capture the photo for the front of the album and film exactly how hard things like that are when you do them for real and don't use Photoshop. The film that we took would become the music video for ‘Overflow’, a track from White Holes of Mole Hills.

We had to make two attempts because of the unpredictable tide and finally got the shot we wanted at about 6pm having been there all day. Some of the film footage was unfortunately destroyed by the sand but what remains looks really good and is currently under going its second editing session. Will be viewable around the album release date and I think I'll write the story out properly when I have time but in the meantime, I'll try come to you with a few warm-up gigs. See you soon!

xxxx thankyou
