The Unexplained

Something spooky/funny for the weekend...

'Nostalgia For Now' - available to buy!

Redpoint's second album, 'Nostalgia For Now', is now available to buy and download from the microsite here.

Go on. Go get one. It's only a fiver and the cash will go to a worthy cause: that is, us. We need a few bits and pieces of hardware and overpriced software to help us carry on making music.

So please buy, play, tag the tracks you love on last.fm and tell other people you think will like it.

Cheers.
Andy & Ian
Redpoint

PS. By 'Nostalgia For Now' we don't mean a celebration of nostalgia in 2008. Give the album a listen and we're sure you'll get the idea(s). :)

We'll add some thoughts about individual tracks (when we've finished the commentary on Protect & Survive!) in the coming weeks...

Space Giraffe tracks and commentary

Quick update...

Have a look at the Llamasoft website for our commentary on the music we contributed to Jeff Minter's glorious Xbox 360 game Space Giraffe.

We'll have Nostalgia For Now up for sale/download in the next couple of weeks. For those who haven't seen it, here's the microsite.

Next up: an EP/mini-album (hopefully by the end of the year) and trying to find a venue for a one-off gig in 2009...

And since we don't have a special PR agency to build our profile or place our music in episodes of 'House', if you're a fan of our stuff, please spread the love. Tell people, gush, extol, eulogise! Put a link to our website in yer forum signatures. Give copies of our music to influential people. Do all that and more. Thank you.

NFN Preview & Mailing List

Hello!

The 'Nostalgia For Now' preview microsite has just gone live, featuring song snippets, choice quotations and the transcendent imagery of Mr Hollis Brown Thornton.

Have a look at the Credits page/'Buy' link for details of how you can sign up to the Redpoint Mailing List and snag a free mp3 of one of the album tracks - right now!

Good. Productive day, that.

We're off outside now to sponge up the embers of summer...

Andy/Ian

New album - finished!

The new Redpoint album, 'Nostalgia For Now', is done, done, done. Written, mastered, agonised over, remastered... DONE.

Ian and I are both very happy with it and excited to get something that's so far only been experienced by four pairs of ears (including our partners) out there into the wider world.

The plan is to release it on September 16th - the second anniversary of our Kelvedon Hatch Nuclear Bunker gig. Depending on how our label/distribution options pan out, that might change, but one way or the other, it *will* be available very, very soon...

5. Lonely Water

It's a vague lament; a chilly-fuzzy melody that seems to waft by
on the breeze.

The PostSecret website was an inspiration, for the way it reflects the gulf between our outer actions and inner lives. We wanted Lonely Water to hover right there in the divide, like emotional insulation.

The title comes from a terrifying '70s Public Information Film about the dangers of drowning in stagnant water, leg snagged in the spring of an old bedstead, with only Benny from Grange Hill available to help.
