First at Electrical Audio then to Soma. Feels good to be away from home to make this record; new environment, new places to drink, it's good for us. It's also exciting because this will be our first recording with our newest idiot, Matt Wood, playing drums. Special thanks to Matt for topping up our idiocy." Matt adds: "In keeping with my idiot life it seemed very natural to join these other idiots, and make a mother fucker of a record".
