Voxtrot are busy compiling material for their coming album. Ramesh blogs about it here, and it's the first real sign of their existence following their abridged tour where they ditched us to go warm up for Arctic Monkeys on the latter's tour of America. No date for release of the album is set, not even a year.

Here's "Trepanation Party", a new track that's out through their official site.

I don't really know what to make of it. It reminds me of U2 circa "Seconds", but "Raised By Wolves" it sure as hell ain't! I'm not saying Voxtrot should stay in their ways, but I'm not sure this is a good move. We'll just have to see. The synths remind me of The Cure, but not in a good way.
