the first snowflake | 01 Dec 2008
hello to you all at this special time of year,
it’s christmas and we’re releasing a new single. it wasn’t always the plan. we didn’t set out to write a christmas song, it just turned out that it couldn’t be anything else, and however much we tried to pretend it was just a song about snow, it would always make us think of christmas when we listened to it. I guess some songs just are what they are, and there’s nothing you can do about it. if a song wants to be a christmas song it will be a christmas song, or any other type of song it wants to be.
and because the song could never be anything else, we thought we’d better release it as a christmas single, and so that you can enjoy it too we’re going to make it available for everyone to buy from december 15th as a download in the UK and the USA. and then we thought perhaps we should throw a party and invite you all along, so we’re playing a christmas show at the hoxton square bar and kitchen to coincide with its release. this is the first single to be released on our own too young to die label since we put out ‘Paper Cuts’ three years ago, and i don’t think i’ve been as excited about a record of ours coming out since then.
our new album will be released in march next year, but before that we give you ‘the first snowflake’, a little pop song about feeling lost and alone at christmas. i hope it makes you happy in the way that all the best sad songs should, and i hope you have as much fun listening to it as we did recording it for you.
merry christmas and a happy new year.
with love from
the boy least likely to

welcome to our website | 14 Aug 2008
we’re still in the middle of building it at the moment. once it’s finished it’s going to have lots of music and pictures and games and other stuff on it. just like it used to. there isn’t much news at the moment anyway. although it’s probably worth checking the concerts page.
while we’re building this site, perhaps you might like to go and have a look at our myspace page or join our facebook group.
perhaps try again in september.
sorry.
