Yes, at last mr Congleton has found some spare time in his hectic schedule to squeeze in some mixing on the Vessels ’still-as-yet-untitled’ debut album. Expect more news in the coming weeks….
also, the download version of the Two Words & a Gesture single is finally online and available through these links:
Read it HERE.
This month’s Artrocker has on it’s cover a big list of cool bands including ourselves (and pals O fracas) that they interview inside. We get a full page, so go buy and read all about us on actual paper!
ps if you’re in Leeds and wanna get it they sell it at Jumbo and Borders. So errr, buy it from Jumbo.

Easy now. We’re all back in the yookay now. Album is recorded but not mixed, so will be finished in the new year. In the mean time, here’s a few more photos of the fairytale wonderland that is Pachyderm in December.

Yo there. We’ve made some progress with the sessions. Most songs now have their backbones recorded, although plenty of overdubs still to go, and loads of loose ends and corners to tie up, and the schedules getting increasingly tight. It’s already sounding increasingly immense, though, so we’re optimistic.
We got a heads up in the ‘Ones to Watch 2008′ section in Rocksound this month as well, bizarrely along with Metallica and Mastadon!
Here’s a couple more photo’s for ya.
We arrived at Pachyderm 2 evenings ago, a day late due to the cancellation of two plane flights. We landed during a full on snow storm, so heads up to the pilot for getting us here alive. We finally got all our kit working and managed to lay down a couple of tracks last night. Congleton’s a legend, and the recording’s already sound sweeet before any mixing whatsoever - always a good sign.
Check Pete’s new Blog - Megaboon.co.uk for regular updates and photo’s.
Here’s a piccy of the studio:

Yes, in under two weeks time we will be blasting off from Gatwick into the sunset to record the album. We’ve all started to go a bit pale and gaunt from too much time spent underground, but the final tunes are shaping up at last, so it’s all good.
The single is released today so get your copy online now. They probably won’t be in the shops for a week or so, but keep ‘em peeled.

Hi there peeps. The Promos for the single should be in the sweaty palms of all these radio djs. If you lovely vessel listeners would like to give them a cheeky email requesting a play of Two words & a Gesture or Clear & Calm, then we won’t have to look like a bunch of grovelling chancers by doing it ourselves. Yay!
Thanks to Huw Stephens and The Organ show for playing ‘em already, and Happy Birthday Bob Ross for yesterday!
