We keep you hanging on no longer. Gannets debut album Transmissions of Not is finally here! (Sound the clarinets at long last) And you will find it is now available to purchase from all good record stores accordingly. Alternatively, and rather too conveniently perhaps, it is also now available for download and can be ‘got at’ through those reliable portals known as iTunes and Amazon in the usual hasty purchasing fashion. So what hath the heavy shape of it I hear you ask? Well it is our pleasure to present Transmissions of Not to you on two sides of deluxe 180 gram vinyl and insert it sideways into a gatefold sleeve and quite snugly so. What of these beautiful sleeves I hear you say? Ah, well they have been depicted in immaculate detail with original drawings done by the inky hand of Gannets very own bass clarinettist Christopher Cundy. Each and every copy of the vinyl also comes complete with a CD tucked neatly inside it too which, as well as duplicating the entire record, also features one extra bonus track to take you just that little extra mile. Why the name Transmissions of Not? Well this may be confusing if only for us, but the name actually pays tribute to a band that Chris and Fyfe were once in many moons ago also called Transmissions of Not and in many ways this was where it all began. It was a different beast back then though, with gigs often ending up in late night bar brawls and chair fights, and generally upsetting the locals wherever we went with it (which wasn’t far). Although Gannets do capture something of that early spirit and chaotic revelry, we like to think we stoke it with the craft and finesse of a more refined animal. The album was recorded at Pinewood Studios and originally it was intended as a radio session so the name just seemed to make sense to us again.
