Since the relase of Live-ism in 2003, we've kind of been on the back burner a bit. We released an acoustic album in 2005 after being asked to do a "plugged out" gig in Maidenhead at around that time. It was a real joy to get back to the basics with guitar, bass, drums a bit of piano and a violin. 

In many ways, it was the start of the process towards producing "Aurora Noise". We've all had family commitments and other stuff that needed our attention and so the last few years have been something of a sabbatical in which we've been able to reflect on what we are as a band and to recharge the batteries after quite a few years of gigging and recording.
