Last seen together on wax (I think) on the Exquisite Corpse and since then he’s released Denies The Days Demise as well as Love To Make Music To. No sweatheart couple should be apart so long.

And when Daedelus comes to town (in this case the Kings Cross side of London Town, see review HERE), he did confide over an evening meal salad (he did have a show to do you know), that when he was on tour and Laura is one her own at home back in Santa Monica, they do keep in touch by the usual modern methods and a rather old invention called postcards. Is this guy singlehandedly keeping Victorian romancing alive?

And your first lesson is, ‘The Art Of Kissing’ where they share the vocals over the acoustic guitar and military drum samba. So delightful and elegant these two perform (reminds me of the other poetically inspired romantics, Annabel (lee) and Richard E) but the prettiest track is ‘Woebegone’ - “If I gave you my luckiest charm, If I swore that I’d do you no harm, If I promised you peaches and plums, Would you pep up and not be so glum?”.

On the remix is beat expert (and on of the Big Chill Dance tent stars this year), Flying ‘LA’ Lotus! You’ll recall Peterson played this track almost a month ago on his Superimposers Session show and I’ve been desperate to my hands on it since (rather a good show that one I thought).

Fans of Mia Doi Todd will love The Long Lost, and for more information don’t forget the interview in the current Shook magazine and check the myspace (currently with a couple of other tracks, ‘Alive’ and ‘Sibilance’). Forthcoming album on Ninja Tune called .
