hey folks, thought you might be interesed in a wee freebie- it's a demo of a song of ours called dead languages from 2008 that's been included on a monthly EP put together by a scottish music blogger. the EPs tend to feature unreleased songs, demos, live tracks etc and are a nice gentle way of being introduced to new bands, i find.
some of you might have an older version of the track already, but it's been newly mastered and sounds a bit better. this will most likely be the only time it'll be available, so have away-
...and the other stuff on the EP is good too, so have a listen.

DIG IT, MAAAAN!
Love the echo chamber delay in the intro guitar, dead creepy.

the B.I. song is quality, as always stewart. love the intro.
the rest of the shit is pretty good as well. i'm specifically digging the Aerials Up track.

Yeah, they're pretty classy. ESFTD have a bit of a mary chain/shop assistants/shoegazey vibe going on, probably be quite popular round these here parts.
Cheers for listening carlos!

Sounds great, stewart. Don't want to echo (oh, come on, seriously?) Doog's comments, so I love the post-intro direct-sounding guitar and distorted-yet-dry urgency of the vocals.
I also hadn't yet commented on the other recent BI stuff, but if I can add my humble opinion, it's fuckin' great.
EDIT: I also just now finished listening to the other tracks. I would be honored to play with any one of those bands, as they are all fantastic.

cheers guys.
avj- very kind of you, and you're almost spot on about the guitar sound; it was done in a bedroom using one of those little vox modelling amps and *cough* a DS-1, i think it may be a mixture of close mic'ing and line out. we were going for a very trashy sound!

Yes! One of my absolute favorite guitar sounds is a simple
Pathfinder 10 that sounds amazing in a particular bathroom when super-close-mic'd with a simple SM57. Sometimes that really-direct, center-panned, no-reverb guitar is
the sound, and I think it suits this song really well.
Does this track feature Gavin and Drumbo, or was this a prior iteration of BI? I love it either way—but if I can stroke Gavin a bit, I think we'll all benefit.

it's a few years old now, and is just drumbo and me. the bassist we had at the time wasn't around that day for some reason so i did his bit.
