Of all the songs to name your new studio after... why?

The Sleepflower Studio. The Revol Rooms. Any better song surely.
I'd say it's named after the willem de kooning painting of the same name, surely? I expected them to call it faster but i guess they want a break from the past, a new beginning, everything must go...

And seeing art as both hiding place and inspiration I'm with you.
Faster would have brought pressure wouldn't it...hurryitupalready...and From Despair to Where could have been a lottery every time you walked in the door...

That makes sense, yeah. Plus it happens to be a lovely manics song to boot, though i'm not particularly that fond of it.

edit: Actually, it is quite lovely after listening to it again for the first time in ages.

Wouldn't worry too much about not getting a link to the pre-sale as the kind folks on here normally post it as and when it comes online anyway. Everyone's a winner (Y)
