Firstly, thank you very much to all of those who downloaded Champagne Socialist during our “promotional” period. Our behind-the-scenes stats seem to contradict each other for some reason, but it looks like in excess of 250 people snagged the mp3 while they could. For little old us, that’s rather humbling.

Anyway, looking forward to our second album, here’s a new work-in-progress song called Turn Me Up (right-click and “Save Target As…” to download:

This song is a little darker than a lot of our other material, and occasionally slightly discordant. Fittingly, this mp3 is a little on the quiet side, so you may actually need to turn up your speakers to hear the quiet organ introduction. As always, we’d love to hear what you think.

Meanwhile, don’t forget to catch up on our other demos from the past few months:
