SNIPPETS
We have stuck up 3 tiny snippets from the upcoming mini-album 'Bare Foot' on our myspace page. It's out on June 1st. In no way will these snippets tempt you into buying it, in fact they will probably just put you off.
THE RETURN!
Hello 'ello!,
Sorry we were away for soo long, please forgive us. The OLO Worms album is finished now and will be out on June 1st on Fence Records (check the news blog for info on that).
BAAAAAANG!!!

Boonbeans, Delifinger, Lionheart, & Seaweed

FIRST RESPONSE
To our album..a friend said "it sounds like Simon & Garfunkel gone wrong" ok, she didn't say "gone wrong" but she would have said that if i hadn't chopped off her head. Tell us the truth and we will kill you!
TRANSLATION
Here's the japanese blog piece translated. brilliant! made me chuckle.
"I had known OLO Worms have been recording some songs for their new album and I wanted to get it whatever it was released in any way and any format. How fantastic it will be released from Fence Records! OLO Worms have members have great talent. They broadcast their podcasts called OLO radio, paints some paintings which are full of talent, and shoots some videos through years! I couldn't take my eyes off the boys from Bristol... the news is really fantastic and make me excite. They have been taken up in Guardian and Pitchfork, and I've been looking forward to them after that. Anyway, you also have to check them out."
favourite quote.."I couldn't take my eyes off the boys from Bristol" ha!
thanks to Kuny for translating it.

失礼！独断と偏見!! GENKI!?
Blogageddon! We have turned up on a Japanese music blog..i think it's called 'Follow The Sun'? Here's the direct link to us.
She writes..
"Olo Worms がアルバムのレコーディングをしていたのは知っていて、どんな形でのリリースであっても買おうと思っていたのだけれど、なんとリリースは Fence Recordsからという！とにかくスゴイ！これまでPodcastsをタレ流しにしてきたり、画伯と呼ばすにはいられないメンバーがいて、才能溢れると思いたいペインティングがあったり、映像があったり。とにかくブリストル発な彼らから目を離すことができなかったのだけれど、これはめちゃくちゃすごい！少し前にはGuardianやPitch Forkなんかでも取上げられていて、その後を楽しみにしていたのだけれど、こんな形で次の手を見せられるとは思っていなかっただけにかなりのコーフン"
I couldn't agree more.
MOVIES GAMES & VIDEOS
Tomorrow morning we start work on the 17 videos for each of the tracks on 'BARE FOOT'. How long will this take? God knows! BUT IT WILL..*wait there*..HAPPEN! You'll be able to get the DVD off us when it's done (see you down the boot sale with pirates). We are shooting the 1st one upside down. It's an early start..breakfast shall be served in woollen jumpers (with 2 holes..for udders).
In other news..we are painting the album cover on sunday before church.
Below is a photo of Delifinger, Child, & I 'on set' during filming for a short film we made called '5 Flavours' a few years back. I'm embarrased to say it was probably the last time i filmed anything..well finished filming anything. I have no excuses now, i just bought a 320GB hard drive.

IT'S BETTER TO CALL THEM AN ENTITY (Rather Than A Band)
We got a little mention on a music blog called DrunkenWerewolf the other day. Here's the direct link to the post.
she writes..
"The songs they post and occassionally make are typical of the innovative-but-we-still-sound-like-we-might-be-wearing-cardigans or otherwise-we-definitely-have-a-strange-fixation-with-under-water-creatures indie that hides in the South West".

THE FINAL PUSH
The last 2 weeks have been quite challenging but we got there in the end. we've finished recording the album we have been working on since January. we're all still learning so it's been hard work. here are the last load of photos of us messing about in bedrooms, you won't see anymore for a while hopefully..unless we stop with the music and start making blue movies.
This wonderful man's dongle saved us every week, "Nation O Nation!"..
Recording Darth Vader's vocals (next time E.T)..
Bit bored..
Just imagine being invited to one of our dinner parties..
Jimmy White popped by, listened to the music and gave us his blessing..
How we write lyrics..
Funtime!..
Last day re-jigs..
Final instrument used (true)..
Title's before we woke up..
Celebrate with uriiine!..
Seaweed stunned by giant gooseberry..
Work done, tarts hit the town..
