2nd August 2007 Songs are being recorded. Four have been started. There are guitars, drums, violins, a violin strung as viola, piano, organ and vocals so far. It sounds like a record. It sounds ace. It won't be ready for ages. THE LIBRARY TRUST HQ 19th March 2007 Books and Dreams.... A rare update. I am currently writing and finishing the songs for the next record. It’s an exciting time when you can see the album starting to take shape. Sometimes it seems easy, every chord played sounds like the start of a new song. Phrases leap out of overheard conversations that can lead to two or three more songs. A scene from a film or a line from a book can offer hundreds of different avenues. It can also be frustrating, just as you finally get to bed, a new lyric starts buzzing around your head and as much as sleep is beckoning, you can't ignore it. Grab what you can while you can. As well as the new songs being written there is a box of tapes and mini discs to be listened to. These are full of half finished songs and scraps of lyrics. I have just listened to the first disc; seventeen tracks of random guitar and scattered lyrics and then, finally, a fully formed gem of a song I can't even remember writing. For anybody with any interest some of the strong contenders currently go under the following titles: Cut man, Windowsill Dust, Maybe is a Strange Sorry Word, Missed, These Are Your Saturday Nights, Keep Your Finger on Your Gun, Laburnum, Sweet Skin, Rare is the Calm, Cathedrals and Cities, Legs that like to Kick. No doubt some of these will be cast aside and new ones written and it will be a while before I get these recorded and even longer before I finally get them out into the world. Still, just to let you know, it has begun and (fingers crossed) will be finished. Rob

THE LIBRARY TRUST HQ 7th November 2005 Although we have been basking in the relief of finally having the ep in the shops, Library Trust HQ has not been completley inactive over the last couple of weeks.Robert was in London village last week recording some new songs. How do they sound? we don't know yet, he won't play them to us. We have also been told that tracks off the ep have been getting played on radio in France, Australia and Portugal and Marc Riley at BBC 6 Music has given us a spin. This is all very interesting because as far as we are aware no copies were sent to radio... A new review here at www.indiecredential.com.
