The frequency was higher in the past during their first years. I suspect they nowadays focus more on family and enjoying nature. It wouldn't surprise me if they liked to trek through nature and camp outdoors, enjoying stars on a clear night, and of course getting soaked frequently considering they live in Scotland.

It gave me the impression that they were as obsessed with making music as ever. If that pattern continued in the last decade, then it is rather bizarre that no original music has been released. On the other hand, if they did decide to spend more time chilling in the woods or something, it would be perfectly understandable.
HUMO: "There's a gap of eight long years between the 'The Campfire Headphase' and 'Tomorrow's Harvest', long enough to build houses and raise families. Is it true you've been mainly dealing with pacifiers and trowels?"
"Mike Sandison: "We did some travelling for a while and have been working on some personal projects, after that we made our EP 'Trans Canada Highway'. Right after that - it was already the end of 2006 - we started writing the songs for 'Tomorrow's Harvest', but we didn't get much further than just make sketches: we suddenly realized our studio was way too small, and that we should optimize it. Once you start with rebuilding you never know where it's gonna end, so it took us a lot of time. At the same time we indeed started raising kids, it took a long while before we actually started to write songs. I'm shocked every time someone tells us our previous record is eight years old, it feels like a lot less than that, cause we've been very busy with things that's not of any business of the outside world.""

What was the result of the studio ‘optimization?’ One release in 18 years (aside from a few remixes).SonicDimension wrote:Fredd-E wrote:HUMO: "There's a gap of eight long years between the 'The Campfire Headphase' and 'Tomorrow's Harvest', long enough to build houses and raise families.

Ah yes, the old ‘rebuilding the studio’ ploy. Classic artist procrastination method.
