Album: "It’s good, it’s just taking a while because as a band we’re still finding out the best way of doing things," Ross McLennan explains. "And also having on top of that a new bunch of songs, it’s a real learning curve for all of us. There’s a lot of back-pedalling to look at things that we may have considered were finished, prior to touring, and reassessing things that we’ve already recorded and going back and putting some finishing touches. It’s been a good way of working, but because we’ve had to tie it in with a lot of rehearsal and gigging, it’s a time-consuming thing. The recording can be finished any day now. There’s only a couple more songs to record and we’ve been playing them for a couple of weeks now and they’re all feeling really tight. It’ll be pretty basic to just go in and slam them down, but I think the question really revolves around how quickly we can get a deal together with someone that’s interested in putting the record out the way we want to put it out and just recognising that we know what we’re doing."

Releases According
to Ross McLennan "The basic idea of it we’ve probably been sitting
on for about two years. We were initially intending to get together with
Leah Baker from Triple J, an engineer down here who we’re friends with,
and just have some fun down at the studio, not for release or anything.
I had a couple of ideas, mainly the ‘Get In The Car’ idea of doing a more
jazzy, Blue Note kind of style. And it suddenly became this thing where
we needed a release, basically just to keep awareness of us there. But
under that sort of situation, she couldn’t justify letting us use the
Triple J studios, so that part of the idea dropped away. And basically
I put my head down and did three remixes and got Greg to do one and Anthony
did one. It’s a really good fun thing to do, but like a lot of things
when you’re busy – like they say, ‘Is it the lyrics or the music that
comes first? No, it’s the phone call’. And when you’ve got that deadline,
you get it done."

Speaking of sparkling pop champs, the Snout lads go
Wildbeat & lay down 4 remixes of cuts from past albums, as well as offering
up the new title track. Fun 'n' games with men 'n' machines soaking in
wires, tricks & doses of L.E.D. Switch off the lights, swing that thing
& hear these songs again for the first time!
