So we’re almost at the end of this intense process of recording an album – rough mixes are sounding cool and we’re excited to let everyone else hear it – thank you for being patient with us.

It has been such a great thing to do, I recommend it to anyone… Stressful, absolutely, hard and frustrating, sometimes, but a good moment to look back over what we’ve done, musically and otherwise, and try and make it all make sense, record and document the past couple of years but also pave the way for future ideas.

Soon come.

MTMT x

MTMT have just spent an amazing weekend holed up in the studio with the incredible Andy Spence of New Young Pony Club recording our first single!

We’re really buzzing about the tunes – working with Andy has given them the energy and magic that they need and they’re gonna be really special…can’t wait for everyone to hear them.

Could get really used to the studio lifestyle – ah well, back to life, back to reality… (for now)

ALSO, we’re playing Twisted Licks @ Last Days of Decadence this Friday, it’s previewed in the Guardian Guide this week and will be in the London Lite on the day.
