Album 2

A quick little note that our recent woes with the bad weather made it into local mag the Brighton Source. The full (although it's pretty short) story is available here: http://www.brightonsource.co.uk/news/1-latest-news/690-news-february-2010, and is hopefully in the print edition too (let us know if you've seen it yet).

We did of course eventually manage to shoot the video for Big Ideas, which you can see here: http://www.acitizenabovesuspicion.co.uk/video/big-ideas.

...to release the next new track in time for Xmas. Not sure if we'll make it but we're going to try!
 
Ross and I will be recording the vocals to the song tomorrow and then there'll be just under 2 weeks to record all the whizz bang extra bits (bass, drums, keys and some guitars done already), mix and master it. It all hinges on nailing the vocals quickly tomorrow, so I'm off to bed.

Coming later this week...

Two weekends ago, ACAS ventured out into deepest Sussex to film a promo video for the third new track to be released from our upcoming second album. The song is called ‘Green Scenery’ and in essence is about how living/working in the city means not ever getting to see the great British countryside. So we thought it fitting to get out and do the shoot at the visually very impressive Cuckmere Haven floodplains. Ironically, given the sentiment of the song, nature turned against us somewhat – choosing to cover the valley first with mist, and then later rain.

I've just finished the cut for the new video and am rather looking forward to posting it up in the next few days! We'll be locking down the audio mix tomorrow evening, watch this space for some lovely new stuff coming right up..

Ross, Steve and I met up on Friday evening to continue the slow but sure progress on the album. We have decided on the next song to be completed, and Steve re-did his draft parts that we had in place. We hope to get this next one – called Green Scenery – out within the month. It might be a tall order as we've become rather perfectionist about these new songs, but we do want to push ahead and get them out for all of you to hear.
