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.
