So, Dave had headed to the continent for a few weeks, he had a desire to lie low for a while and some knobs to twiddle with some other band or other. Stu had an equal desire to re-write lyrics and re-sing vocals - it's the way things always go, he is the most uneasily satisfied of the whole band. But anyway, with a squeeze of the 3-in-1 can the cogs and wheels have slowly started crunching and turning and stuff has started to take shape.
A steady stream of initial mixes have started to find their way earwards and the results are what I would call more than pleasing. Things are a good way off being finished, but the shape of things to come is becoming more and more apparent. As is always the case with Decoration, things will take time - but with talk of the odd gig here and there and murmurings of artwork and track orderings the future at least looks like it will one day be the present.
