Katerwaul - February EP We’re releasing an EP soon, we don’t know when but soon. The details are fairly vague but its being released in the run up to our Album which will be out later in the year. The main track on it will be February but the EP might not be called that, because if this thing is released in March I won’t stand for the “but its not February any more” jokes, but until then that’s what we’ve been calling it at Katerwaul HQ. I’ve been working on some album artwork and layouts for yet ANOTHER Katerwaul book and if all goes according to plan then we get to ***[EDIT: sorry the big boys at Brave Or Invincible have kindly requested I delete that from the blog]*** which I’m sure you’re all going to agree is gonna be FUCKING ACE!!! This image of what the EP could/probably will look like will give you a little taste of what the new album art will be like (ie pretty different but totally the same old Tim Courtney shit of paper textures and blurry photography). Enjoy.

LIGHT PARADES - SPARKLE

Over the last couple of month’s I’ve been busy in Factotum Films mode. Shaun and I have been working on a short video clip for a movie that we can’t really talk about until its release next Oct, so until then that’s all you can expect to hear. However Duncan has dawned his producer cap for a music video I have written and directed for the band Light Parades.

Dan from Light Parades asked me a short while ago to write and direct a promo video for the band’s single from their debut album/EP. As yet the album/EP is untitled but their single isa beautiful atmospheric slow burner called Sparkle.

I don’t want to get into specifics of the video’s narrative so for now you’ll have to make do with these teaser images until the video is ready for release. The release date will be set by the band but we’re expecting it to be around February/March sort of time.

As always I’ll let you know nearer the time.

Written & Directed by Tim Courtney
Produced by Duncan Leishman
Cinematography by Sam Brill
Starring Jade Lindores, Paul Massie
Costumes by Lori Marshall

These are some pictures I took the other day when it stopped raining in Glasgow. It was around 3pm and the sun was hanging low in the sky. These were meant to be recce pictures for a music video but they fit my running theme at the moment.

Here are some more Katerwaul work in progress lyrics to accompany these photographs. 

You, Love & I

The sun will set behind your silhouette
And the clouds will glow red
For red is the colour of our love
And red is the colour of blood 

You, love & I when the tyrants have won
We’ll evaporate into the sun
Some memories are only lies
These memories won’t die

So either way we’ll dwindle & blaze
Then take hope in these sorrowful days

The Sleeping Garden

Goodbye Sleeping Garden
Farewell northern seas
For we’ll all have to slumber now
While the city crumbles to its knees

Goodbye Silver City
Farewell affluence & gold
The tyrants discontent
Will never replace the memories they stole

Goodbye a decade of love & loss
Farewell equality
I promise you’ll awake one day
To salvage your former glory

Then…

They’ll turn off their drills
Hold on…
They’ll turn off their drills
Hold on…

Departures

Sometimes its hard to believe in this world
Its easier to trust if you just shut your eyes
Depart to a place we understand
Everything that comes together
Will only be torn apart
And over our cities grass will grow
Depart Depart to a place we understand
