Ah, I suppose it will get me out the house, so I should probably head along to this...

That's the kind of get up and go enthusism that's been lacking around here!

This is what Chemikal Underground said today...

Emma Pollock has completed her new album, the follow up to 2007's 'Watch The Fireworks' and we can confidently state that fans and newcomers alike will not be disappointed.

Entitled 'The Law Of Large Numbers', the album was recorded at, yes you guessed it, Chem19 studios and (right again) was produced by Paul Savage. It's a complex and rewarding piece of work too: similar to The Delgados' work in that it rewards repeated visits and seems to deliver more on each listen. That Emma Pollock is a songwriter of formidable talent has never been in doubt but with this new release we feel that she's raised the bar higher still; returning to Chemikal Underground perhaps enabling her to make the kind of intelligent and uncompromising album we all know she's capable of.

You can catch Emma performing material from her new album if you you're intending to see Camera Obscura at Glasgow's Barrowland Ballroom on Thursday 29th October as she's just been announced as their main support. Emma will also be performing at a Chemikal Underground night in Aberdeen this November but more about that later...

I have just realised I have a wedding doo that night. Gutted.

Wee update.

Martin John Henry is now a two-piece. Expect some gentle electronic accompanyment.

Over.

Just booked tickets for this.

Then realised I had other plans for that night.

I no longer have other plans for this night.

It's looking likely that this will now be an Aidan Moffat solo performance.

Although the set up looks like it will be more fun.
