Thanks to everyone who came out last night to support us for the album launch. We'll be back again to play in Ireland at the beginning of May so we hope to see you all again soon.

This moment has been coming for many years, but now all of us here in the blancatransfer camp feel that this is the real beginning. Everything before this has been a build up, a preperation. 10th April 2010 is the date and we hope that our album will begin to make its way into as many peoples lives as possible. "The experiment that is our lives", our debut album, has many influences behind it and there are many people to thank for that. Composer Derek Corr describes it as the "culmination of 10 years of trial and error in terms of songwriting". Having begun to compose at the age of 15, Derek feels that its only now he's getting to grasps with some of the deeper relationships between people and this music we create. "Its real, alive, now. I never fully appreciated before the deeper aspects of what music truly is. Its almost like a language. We take a language we are fluent in for granted but its the language learners who know the real stuggle involved in learning a new language. Music today is so global and the industry is changing so fast, its easy to forget its essence. It's like the old carpenter's being forgotten (never mind replaced) and we accept the fast, attractive turnover of the multinational furniture makers with discount prices as standard". We truly hope that we can transmit this essence to our listeners both in recorded form and at our live shows. Our dedication to playing and writing music as close to its essence as possible is what drives us. We feel we have captured some of it in this album but there is much more to write, record and perform. We aim to bring the live experience to the studio and the studio experience to the live. Peace!

By the end of this week we'll be posting tracks from the album here on our website. Oh the joy!

Our debut album "the experiment which is our lives" is now in its final stages. The 12 song album was recorded and mixed in Doppler Studios, Madrid with Spanish producer Alberto Caballero and Mastered in Limerick, Ireland with Richard Dowling at Wav Mastering.
