Welch and Rawlings have been so busy playing with other musicians that four years have passed since Soul Journey was released. “We’re writing songs for the new album now,” Welch says. “We’ll start recording once we have almost all of them written.” The album will be released on the duo’s own label Acony Records, which they set up in 2001 for Time (The Revelator), as a way to own their master recordings and control their musical output. “We’re very independent musically, and this means that our business can actually be in line with our aesthetic,” Welch says.
And what do the new songs sound like? “The stuff is feeling spookier and more panoramic than Soul Journey,” she says. “The bottom line is, we’ll do whatever the music calls for, because we are always slaves and servants of the song.”
I am so excited.

You talk so much about Time (The Revelator) that I haven't heard what you think of Soul Journey (is that what it's called)? Is it good? Do I need a demo of it? Apparently it's good or you wouldn't be stoked for another one. I just don't want you to be one of those one-album fans. It's not good for you and it's not good for Gillian
