Apologies for the lack of updates over solstice. I'm having a bit of a reboot at 3by3 HQ which, when combined with the recent Cloaks hiatus, has left everything very quiet. Since finishing Versus Grain we've been steadily building new tracks and over the past few months in particular, have been involved in a lot of remix work and collaborations plus steady efforts towards building our live set.
On our own material, we have a new EP finished, due for release on 3by3 in around May. It's entitled 'Desolate Turves E.P.' and contains 5 tracks that you may have heard on the myspace, if you've been paying attention. These tracks represent a kind of post-album Cloaks sound that will bridge the gap between Versus Grain and our newer directions.
A remix we finished a while ago was "And now we wait" for Legion of Two, originally taken from their album 'Riffs' on Planet Mu. There are no plans for release on this at the moment but this was actually a swap, and so there is a remix of "Against" by Legion of Two forthcoming on 3by3.
Our most recent remix was for Point B, reconstructing "Suicide Beauty Spot" from his album of the same name on Combat Recordings. This is due for digital and 12" release on Combat in 2010 so stay tuned for this - there's a snippet on our myspace.
We've also been working on a collaboration with UK rapper Akala. The track is towards his next album and in its barest of forms, is already sounding great. It's been a really good learning curve to work with a vocalist for the first time and we're pleased with how its sounding - more on this very soon.

Other works in progress include a remix for Irish metal band Altar of Plagues and a very special hook up with Ben Frost - more news on these to follow too.
Stay up to date here and on the myspace as usual.
