Piney's new album is nearly done 11/01/08
That’s right, it’s almost done, after a year of recording in a windowless basement in Hackney only to emerge into the perpetual dark and stormy night, Piney and the Age of Reason could be seen trudging across the road for last orders at the Ork and Firkin… and now it all pays off because finally Piney’s 3rd album “The Yearling” is actually-really-truly-nearly done! Who will put it out? When can you take it home? Nobody knows! But there you go, it’s like Christmas innit?
