Indelicates record 'sinister, lush' songs

The Indelicates have started recording their second album in Germany.

Frontwoman Julia Indelicate revealed on the band's official website that they had laid down a lot of trumpet for the follow-up to last year's American Demo.

Julia said: "So far we have recorded drums, and completed about four songs. Some of them sound sinister, some of them lush and joyful I think. Ed [van Beinum] drummer left last week, and on Monday we had Bastian Eppler come to do trumpet."

She added: "I feel a bit bad about making him play LOTS of trumpet so it now sounds like a brass band. On the other hand, it does sound AMAZING, and I'm truly grateful he came. I've also played an upright violin thingimy and a small harp (very badly, hey ho).

"Yesterday we liberated some DDR radio tape to put on the record. The tape we found just happened to be all about the nuclear corridor. How does that happen. Cosmic. On Sunday Al [Clayton] rhythm guitarist arrives to do his rawk and vibes and then all the extras."

The singer and keyboard player again invited fans to join the band in Berlin to help with the recording.
