European Winter Tour Announced

Winter Tour Flyer 2012 We are delighted to announce another trip to the European continent in February and March. We will be returning to see some old friends, and play some new places. It kicks off with a very spceial show in Glasgow as part of Celtic Connections, and then we take in France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Italy and Greece. For those places we won’t reach this time, we are always working to play in new cities, and we hope to see you soon. For full info please see the Dates page on this site. Joe will be releasing another mixtape shortly too, in celebration of this new tour.

‘Flight EP’ – Out Now

Out now, the new Hidden Orchestra release ‘Flight EP’ (click to preview the tracks and see the full press release on Soundcloud).

This digital-only release from Tru Thoughts features a new track, Flight, as well as some remixes from the Night Walks album by Floex, Lost Twin, and Maddslinky (and a bonus remix by The Colonel available on the iTunes version).

Flight features Fraser Fifield (sax/whistle) and Su-a Lee (cello) reprising their roles from the album, with the addition of harpist Mary Macmaster on clarsach, and on clarinet Tomáš Dvořák (aka Floex, who also created the stunning remix of “Dust” for this release).

In addition to the digital release, our friends at Denovali Records have produced another deluxe version of the release on vinyl, to complement the popular vinyl version of Night Walks. Consisting of new track Flight with Floex’s remix of Dust as the B-side, there is also a very limited edition version of the vinyl release, with an extra disc featuring “drums-only” and “no-drums” versions of Flight, exclusive to this pressing.

Vinyl also available from Tru Thoughts’ Etch Shop, and at our live shows.

  • “…Straddling the divide between sample-based recording and virtuoso live performance, JAQ’s lush recordings take on a whole new hackle-raising bombast on stage thanks in part to a combination of heavy, jazz-kit riffs, digital drums, programmed beats and percussion… They’re beyond words – we couldn’t possibly do justice to their enveloping digital/acoustic live performance in here. Quite like nothing else on the Edinburgh scene or elsewhere, they really must be sampled to be believed.” — Mark Edmundson,
