nightlightsukI decided to put together a supporting EP for the previous album (Somewhere Else) and just about got it finished a few days ago. I wanted to make an extended version of one of the album tracks, so that got nudged up to 8 minutes of sheer quality goodness. And I stuffed four totally new and very shiny songs on there to go with it, which were songs that didn't quite make it to the album.[1]
If anyone wants to have a sneaky listen, it's on Bandcamp now as a pre-order. So only "Wolf" is available for yonder ears, but the full dainty is out next Friday.
[1] I tried to keep the main album to around 45 minutes, which is why those extra tracks were left aside. Apparently between 35 to 45 minutes is the "golden time" for an album running time. Much shorter and it doesn't feel like an album, and much longer and people tend to nod off. Doubtless that news sent a shiver down the spine of any prog rock fan, and I don't doubt there's still a market out there for 270 minute long songs with 10 guitar solos and a 30 minute synth solo. But generally, it seems less is more and all that.
