Ecce keeps doubling. This time last year we went from one to two. Now we're going from two to four.
All future Ecce live shows will now feature Tim Adams (drums) and Erin Lang (bass), joining me and Dom.
Speaking of live shows, we'll be playing one in May - I'll put the details up here as soon as it's confirmed.

The Ecce myspace page has moved, to:
And you can hear Control and I Could Spend a Lifetime Here from the "Control EP", plus the Justus Köhncke remix, at that page.
If you prefer your social networking to be blue and boxy, you may want to head over to the Ecce Facebook Page:
At which you can hear the very same tracks!
The Control EP is released on November 24th, on 12" and download from various online sources and a few good record stores.

Ecce has signed to August Day Recordings, the sister label of Tirk Recordings.
The first Ecce release on August Day will be the Control EP, hich is currently set for a November 24th release, featuring three new Ecce tracks and a remix by Justus Köhncke (Kompakt Recordings).
Check the August Day website for more details

Distortion pedals are fun. However, very few distortion pedals/overdrive pedals/wild octave-down stuttering effect pedals are musical as well as fun. I used to own an MXR Blue Box pedal which used to degrade quite randomly in a very playful way, but, generally speaking, all the Big Muffs, Rats and DS-1's pale in comparison to the inspiring, multi-purpose, sonically diverse and most importantly playable effects that Devi Ever makes.
In fact, I'm such a fan of his wares that I have adopted a Devi Ever custom Shoe Gazer pedal as the Ecce logo (see above) and I'm using it as the artwork on the Control EP. Devi has very kindly agreed to this, and has even put a sample of the Ecce song Monuments on the Shoe Gazer page.
Shown above are the three of his units that I own. All of them do lovely, lovely, noisy things to all sorts of sound sources. Lovely.
