Oceansize have posted a recap from their recently completed tour...
"Just a quick emission to say thanks to all who came to see us on this tour. Thanks also to our incredible support acts - Vessels, And So I Watch From Afar and Brontide. All were spectacular.
Highlights? - London, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Glasgow.... all warm and vibe-tastic (despite major gremlins in our machines at the London show. Thanks for egging us on - we really needed it).
Lowlights - Aberdeen Tunnels was kind of an uphill struggle. A sold out show rammed with intoxicated people shouting at each other. So loud was the bustle that it made it actually very difficult to play some of the quieter numbers. Thanks to those who did listen, we appreciate your patience.
We're also aware that some of you maybe didn't get to hear your favourite songs on this tour - dually noted, although it was expected. We, perhaps quite selfishly, played lots of unreleased material in preparation for the recording of our new album, which will commence this week. Also, often the songs that get requested are 10 minutes long, and enough of them will cane half the set. Also, we don't want you guys seeing the same show over and over. Apologies if you didn't get your song - we'll try to make it up to you next time. Dates are being pencilled in for September, i believe.
Huge love to our crew across the various dates - Ace TM/Guitar tech Ben Pomphrett, Sound bringer Oyvind Kurszus, and lampies Dave Morrissey and Ben (surname not available at this time). Did us proud, they did.
Hopefully we'll get some kind of video blog going for the recording. If there's time. Oh fuck, the camera's broke innit. Forgot. Hmm.
Peace, love and a multitude of distortion effects, - Michael James Vennart."
