This is to say thank you for all those who supported us and patiently waited while we got out shit together this year.

Thank you…from all of us in Sankara.

This song is our Christmas present to all who have stuck with us. It was sent out to all those lucky people on our mailing list first, so if you want exclusive access please join - here.

The song is a cover of Tori Amos’ Precious Things and has been close to Gareth (our virtuous singers) heart for a long time. It features a glimpse into the music we are cooking up for our upcoming Album (available some time around summer 2012). Here we are delving into our sonic landscaping brushes, layering guitars and rocking hard in the rhythm section. It has subtle use of dynamics and arrangement techniques which we are experimenting with to find the right over all tone for the upcoming album. We would love to hear any feedback from you guys, get hold of us on our Facebook page and get involved.

It is available to listen to free HERE or if you are feeling generous to buy from Itunes. It will be available for a limited time so get it while you can. If you are wondering why (who wouldn’t); its because we had to purchase licenses to release this song and so being poor musos could only afford a limited number. So its first come first service. The song has been made available to these rocking radio station who have supported us from the word go, so a big thank you to them:

AiiRadio, ARfm, Radio Caroline, Hard n Heavy, V103 Rock and Amazing Radio.

Those of you on our mailing list have already had first listen and so far the feedback is positive. Have a great Christmas and see you in the new year when we get out gigging!

All the best

Sankara
