This week we've been working on 'Black Cloud' and have been ably assisted by the shadowy sixth member of Dresden, and one of the finest guitarists of his generation, Paul Morrison. Moz popped into the studio just to hang out and have a listen to what we've been working on before he heads out to the Middle East for work - several beers later, we managed to persuade him to lay down some guitar. The results were pretty astonishing - very psychedelic and strange. The sort of thing Paul does best, in other words.
Here's some pics of us and him hard at work:

We've also made some fairly significant progress with 'Cold Hands' - again, it's sounding quite trippy. Loads of tape loops and samples of orchestral noise being stretched, reversed, speeded up, chopped and spliced... I have a funny feeling that there's going to be a very weird vibe on the next record, whenever that might be. I'm thinking 'Sgt. Pepper's...' meets 'Mezzanine'.
