The band have just finished mixing the album in New York, and will soon start rehearsing for live shows in the new year.

In a posting on their official website [url=]athlete.mu, drummer Steve Roberts said “we’re feeling really happy, relieved, tired and proud of what we’ve done”.

He added: “Life never seems to calm down at the moment but I think we can all safely say we wouldn’t want it any other way. In fact I think we’re all enjoying music and being in the band more than ever. So roll on next year.”
