Hi, just uploading a preview of 'Lost In A
Hurricane', our new single due for release on 15th December....please
take a listen and let us know what you think! We're back in the
studio again this week to add a final (brand new) track to the
album...it's been a few months since we finished recording and mixing
the other tracks but we felt this one was too good not to go on as
well, and so back to The Magic Garden we go :) We've been working
solidly on the new track for the last few weeks now and we're pretty sure it's
going to sound ace - we're certain in fact ;) !
We'll post a preview soon, we promise!! x
Yes, 'Leave' is finally released this week...you can now download it from iTunes, Napster, Amazon and many others. The release goes out with a fantastic remix of 'Cover My Eyes' by the ambient popsters Kyte, which we're sharing here - have a listen and see what you think!
To celebrate the single release, we're having a launch party in the form of a RoTa showcase at Notting Hill Arts Club this Saturday (13th September). It kicks off at 4pm and is FREE admission to all. We'll be hitting the stage at around 7pm but come down early if you can to catch support from fellow slicethepi-ers The Keyz, Themselves and Timothy Edwards!
As if that wasn't enough, when we recover from the inevitable saturday night drunkeness, we're heading over to Proud Galleries, Camden to join another afternoon showcase, this time in support of the hotly tipped Dirty Skirts....it's also FREE (apologies for capitalising that word every time) and is sure to be a great afternoon as there are a load of acts on the bill - we may be looking a little worse for wear by that stage though!
Thought I'd better post this track today and give it a mention as it's currently free to download for one week only...finishing tomorrow - great timing, I know! :) This is an early unmastered version of 'You Were Right' one of the tracks from the forthcoming album 'Deletia', which is shaping up nicely for a release in a couple of months. This track is a sort of short, but very epic ballad if that makes any sense at all. As I said it's not the finished article but hopefully you'll like it anyway....and if you do, you can download it for free at slicethepie.com! But not for long (erm sorry about that)! x
We're kind of nearly getting there at last....We've spent some time back in the studio this month going over the final mixes of tracks for the album 'Deletia'. It's all coming together really well now although we're up against it trying to meet our planned release date - but so it goes! :) Thought I'd upload something new from the album anyway and see what people think. This is a brand new track called 'Army Of Two'. It'll be the last song on the album.....and is quite short and gentle sounding compared to a lot of the stuff we've posted previously so thought it might make a nice change! The songs we've put down for the album itself are quite diverse, but hopefully this'll give some idea of the range of sounds we're going for anyway...Gavin did an excellent job producing this - thankfully he really knew what we were trying to achieve with the ending - which is always a good thing ;) Hope you like it anyway!
A quick reminder once again to all you London folks that we'll be at Storm in Leicester Square this Friday night. We've never played the venue before but it should be a blast anyway - come along if you can!

...we posted again - long overdue in fact! Well at least we have some exciting news to write about anyway. We've now finished the album...well recording-wise that is. It's currently being mixed and we're hoping to have it all ready in the next couple of weeks for a release in mid-late September - which is not much later than we'd originally planned so we've not done too badly! The party will be at Notting Hill Arts Club on Sat 13th Sept and we hope some of you can make it....but more on that later!
We had a great time recording the album with Gavin who has possibly the widest knowledge of music/musicians/artists - ranging from the mainstream to the totally obscure - that any of us have ever encountered! He also has an amazing array of equipment, aquired over the years too including speakers that belonged to the stones, a vintage Neve that allegedly appears in Bowie's Space Oddity video (not sure if I can see it though!) and a custom Shergold once owned by Bernard Sumner that we got to use on a couple of tracks (see below)!
Finally, just to update you on
some confirmed live dates for next month - would of course be great to see
any of you can make any of them:
1st July - The Purple Turtle, Camden
10th July - The Twist, Colchester
25th July - Storm, Leicester Square
We'll be getting out and gigging a lot more again now we're out of the studio,
so watch this space for more news..
....and we promise to keep it updated! ;)

Finally getting around to posting this song. This is 'Cover Your Eyes' the third single, and indeed the title track from our recent Shifty Disco downloadable EP release. Please go here for more details on the Shifty Disco site, including a link to purchase the song (for a lowly 99p), and a downloadable pdf of the EP artwork (quite a neat idea we thought). We hope you like the track anyway (it's very pop!) - as always, your views and comments are more than welcome, and very much appreciated!

This was something of an unusual recording for us as it was a reworking of one of our first ever songs, which had started out as a kind of 7 minute epic (!). We decided to kill the big string sections etc. and do a kind of 3-4 minute, subtle pop version for the EP, the week before we went to record....and this is what we came out with! Once again, please have a listen share your views on this - we'd love to hear them.
We'll be playing at the The Pleasure Unit on Bethnal Green Rd tomorrow night (onstage around 8-8.30 ish) by the way, so if any of you London folks are around, please pop down and see us + say hi!
cheers!

Hi...
...thought it about time we added our first post to introduce ourselves on here. We are Shortwave Fade - an electronically inspired blend of elevating pop - tinged with melancholy...or so we like to think!
We have just completed three new tracks produced at the Animal Farm in London, which we will be posting on here very shortly with the hope of getting some feedback from all of you lovely people. In the meantime, our earlier, self produced single 'Anything to anyone' has just been released through Shifty Disco as a download only. You can check that out here.
More soon,
SwF
