Hi everyone! Our latest single, Your Turn, is slowly infiltrating the airwaves…

On Saturday night (actually, Sunday morning) Tom Robinson played it on his ‘Introducing…’ show on the BBC’s 6 Music. I’m a big fan of 6 Music and am even more excited by this bit of airplay than getting on Radio 1 a few weeks back (ooh, controversial).

If you like Your Turn (which we really hope you do!) you can vote for it to be played again next week by going to Tom’s 6 Music site here. Please do take a moment to do this and help us get our music out to as many people as possible!

Remember that you can get Your Turn and all of our previous material absolutely free by going to the music downloads page on our site.

Howdy!

You may have noticed things slowly changing around here over the last couple of days. The old blog and site were looking a bit rough around the gills, so we put them to sleep and created one new über-site! That’s right. No more separate blog. No more awkward switching between the two. We’ve collected together all of the best bits and put them in the same place. There’s even a popup media player, so you can listen to our music as you read about how we recorded the album.

Don’t worry, the old blog content has been moved over to the new site, so if you were originally a subscriber, you still are!

You can look forward to more material in the coming weeks. We’ve all been a bit wrecked by the short Winter days and the misery that comes with them, but now we’ve got a batch of gigs coming up we’ll be bright and springy before you can say “I, Yeah!”. Talking of which, we’ll have more info about that soon - we promise! 

Yes, that's right folks. Bethan Elfyn was kind enough to play 'Your Turn' on her Radio 1 show last night.

You can listen again here and get the tracklisting for the show here. The show will be available to listen to for the next 6 days, or you can download 'Your Turn' in high quality MP3 format completely free from our website right here.

Enjoy!

Hi!

The first single from our upcoming album 'I, Yeah!' is out NOW.

As well as 'Your Turn', you get a special non-album b-side called 'The Storm'.

The tracks are available to download from our website here. They are packaged together along with cover artwork.

Enjoy!

Bye.

You're all probably sick of hearing how the album is very nearly very nearly nearly finished, so just to be completely untruthful, we've decided to start from scratch and redo the whole thing!

See you in 8 months

On the other hand, it could just be that we can reveal two more things about the album for you… 

one is this

the other is the tracklisting: 

SIDE A

• Four Cycles
• Open Your Heart
• Tape Riser
• Your Turn

Mathematikoi

SIDE B

• Fake Out, Shuffle Off
• Contradiction
• The Awakening
• Borderline 

Adam Walton gave us all a treat and played 'Contradiction' on his show last night.

The track is from 'I, Yeah!' and will be released as album-only. So, check-out the BBC Radio Wales listen again feature all this week to catch a glimpse of what's in store on our debut album!

Adam Walton listen again

Last night, Adam Walton played our brand new single ‘Your Turn’ on his Radio Wales show. This was an exclusive first play of the track, which until last night hadn’t been heard by anyone outside of Glow!!

The track itself is the first single from our upcoming debut album ‘I, Yeah!’ and is to be released in the New Year as a digital download with a rather magnificent b-side that won’t be available on the album. It will be available only from our website - more info on that soon…

Anyway, to hear the track you can use the BBC Radio ‘listen again’ service. It will be available for THIS WEEK ONLY!

Check it out here.

We’re looking for volunteers to sing on one of our tracks. It’s gonna be a massive chorus with as many of our friends and fellow musicians singing on it as possible.

So far, we’ve already got a fair number of voices, but we want MORE!

If you’re interested, simply e-mail us at fourchoircles@fablesofglow.com and we’ll send you two small .mp3 tracks of the section to be recorded (one with guide vocals, one without).

What you will need:

• A method of recording to your computer, or of transferring recorded material to your computer
• A half-decent mic
• The ability to sing (optional)

The part will ideally be recorded in high quality .wav format and returned to us using a file-sending service such as yousendit.com

Reckon you’re up to it? Go on, give it a try!

Yesterday we went into the studio with Sarah Howells from Halflight and laid down some beautiful vocals for album track ‘The Awakening’. It’s the second duet on the album and one of the weirdest pieces of music we’ve ever written!

Here are some photos from the session:

We needed some tape noise for the end of one of our tracks. Problem is, we don’t own a tape deck between us… Or do we?!

Jim’s car came up with the goods. I, yeah!
