Sparkadia

Hello.

It has been a while. My apologies for my absence. I got stuck in traffic....I..uh...swear I called...I....

Excuses aside, I have been travelling the globe and enjoying myself (thank you New York!) and putting myself into the second record. I've been to some crazy towns such as Darwin, Stockholm, Helsinki, New York, LA and of course Berlin and after all that, we have finally decided upon the final twenty songs to be recorded and the first single (which is almost finished/mixed and sounding....lushbutwild/hugebutintimate/differentbutsamesame..will be out in mid February. Sorry about the delay but Christmas gets in the way of putting out records. Blame it on Santa.

In the meantime, I recommend having a listen to the latest "Like a Version" compilation. Staying true to its goal of being more than just a typical covers album (which often are tragic affairs - ie Scarlett Johansson's Tom Waits covers album...oh dear...Brian Ferry's Bob Dylan covers album...really?!), the newest release features tracks such as our cover of The Preset's 'This Boy's in Love', our friends the Philly Jays taking on Jay Z's '99 Problems' & Whitley doing an intimate version of one of my favourite pop hits "dancing queen". Shh.
