So we realize it's been a little while since we gave you an
update on what we've been up to friends. Life moves along faster than ever, and
we're already well into the year 2014, wow! Among other things, we need to fill
you in on a new track we recorded while on tour in December (that we'd like to
give away free to our loyal fans), a record deal and the 2014 re-release of our
debut album 'Ocean of Milk'.
We ended 2013 with a mellow acoustic tour of the Cape, and
had some great shows in Cape Town, The Crags and Knysna among other places. But
along with a great show in Port Elizabeth, we managed to find an hour or so to
record a song that we originally planned to be on 'Ocean of Milk' but somehow
didn't make the cut. 'Gone & Grey' was recorded at Tanglewood Studios by
John Dirker. We did a live take (which John filmed as well) before we had to
race off to perform in Plettenberg Bay that night. We're really stoked with how
it turned out, you can see the video here:
Soon after returning from the Cape Tour, in early January as
the heat was rising on the East Coast of Africa, we finalized and signed a
licensing deal for 'Ocean of Milk' with South Africa's most successful independent
label, Sheer Records. With the signing of the album over to Sheer, there will
also be a 2014 release date, and the record will finally be available in the
best music stores nationwide, as well as iTunes etc. In addition, we still have
a few copies of the limited edition digipak left, which will be available at
our shows or over here - http://hindsbrothers.bandcamp.com/
We look forward to connecting soon again, big love from us!
