Ten years ago the band wrapped up ACCELERATE recording at Grouse Lodge west of Dublin out in Westmeath— here’s a postcard from the time:
Grouse Lodge is a unique residential studio in the heart of Ireland— after the momentum and excitement of the working rehearsals in Dublin at The Olympia, the sessions were highly productive and it showed a few months later when ACCELERATE was released.
