NME reports that Yourcodenameis:milo are working on a new 'Desert Sessions' style album, featuring a host of British talent. As you will almost definitely already know, Queens Of The Stone Age's Josh Homme regularly lures musicians into the California desert to work on recordings for his 'Desert Sessions' projects. In a similar project, yourcodenameis:milo have been luring people to, er, Newcastle. Bloc Party's Gordon Moakes, Graham Coxon, Tom Vek, Martin Grech, and Biffy Clyro are all said to be involved in the collaboration. The band also hope to get PJ Harvey, as well as Bjork, to pitch up in Newcastle.
The band's frontman Paul Mullen said: "We've got this place in Newcastle and we thought we'd invite bands to come up and why not do some collaboration? Normally we pick them up from the station, whisk them to our rehearsal space, and just start recording. It's a 12-hour process, and after 12 hours the track should be done, completed and mixed."
He continued: "You shouldn't just be a band. If you've got the time and you've got the space you've got to make something of it. We might balls the whole thing up but you've got to try!"
