Here’s the most recent work-in-progress version of Turn Me Up, a song from our forthcoming album (click to play, right-click and “Save Target As…” to download):

We’ve got high hopes for this one as it’s very different from anything we’ve done before: it’s darker, moodier, and occasionally discordant. This demo boasts a relatively full arrangement (complete with guitar solo and guide vocals), though of course absolutely no effort has gone into the production at this stage.

If you want to check our progress, here’s how Turn Me up sounded the last time we uploaded an mp3:

We really hope you like it as we’re considering it for the lead “single” from the new album, though we’ll make that decision nearer the time. For now, all comments, criticisms and advice will be gratefully received.

Here are some previous demo mp3s in case you missed them:
