*UPDATE: HEADLINE SLOT AT INDIGO2 - Thank you all!*

Thank you so much to everyone who attended our show at the IndigO2 (at the O2 Arena) here in London. It is a big place and we were blown away by the numbers of people who took time to come down and support us. We're back in the reheasal studios now, working on how to bring more of our songs to the live stage and are also working on the videos for the next songs on the album.


UPDATE : OFFICIAL SELLABAND ALBUM RELEASED ON: 9th August

Our new album "The Elements", recorded with the help of nearly 750 believers, raising $50,000, was released on 9th August. That evening Sellaband hosted a live web-chat and album preview at 8pm for all believers and then again at 8.45pm for the general public. At 9.30pm the album was released in the SHOP section of this website and by 9.35pm Sellaband had registered over 7000 downloads from all over the world! Thank you to everyone who joined us and for your continuing support. We'll be releasing a ton of extra content over the next few months and if you have a CD put it in your computer and you'll have access to it. Any problems - please contact us on info@secondperson.net.

Some people have asked where they can hear more SP, the best place is: http://www.myspace.com/secondperson

Since Second Person is essentially an audio-visual project, the first video (which you can also buy in the shop or as part of the CD) will be the first of five and all believers will be able to download these videos for free as they are completed in the coming months. Have a look at Wikipedia for more details:


Second Person loves you xx
--------------

Welcome to Second Person on SellaBand!

Sadly you can no longer buy parts in us as we've reached the $50,000 target - and we have already started recording our album. To everyone who bought parts, whether it was 1 or 180: thank you so much for getting us here! We've left a video message for you which you can see by clicking the "Special message from Second Person" link just above this window.

Thank you for visiting our page, and we hope you enjoy.

About us:

Second Person
was formed in early 2002 and comprises singer/pianist Julia Johnson, producer/bassist Mark Maclaine and drummer Alvaro Lopez. This band brings together elements of Hip-Hop, Jazz, Trip-Hop and Electronica fusing them with strong songwriting to form a unique sound that is Post Trip-Hop. Described as "The next big thing" by The Independent, this English three-piece contrast beautiful vocals with dark basslines, sublime piano riffs and powerful beats. Their emotive song writing style, killer hooks and distinctly lo-fi sound has lent itself perfectly to visual media and their music credits include three complete feature film scores as well as work for numerous international broadcasters and film companies. Second Person are as good live as they are recorded, capturing the beauty and emotion of their songs, although not losing the complex sound-scapes and space that have defined their sound.

The band are currently in the studio writing their second album, which should be finished in mid to late June of this year. The first music video we made has been playing on MTV - if you're interested you can see it on our myspace page:www.myspace.com/secondperson and some of the artwork for later album stuff is available on http://secondperson.deviantart.com - let us know what you think!

If you would like to hear some of the band's debut album, Chromatography search for Second Person on iTunes also check out an entry about us on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Person_%28band%29.

Old stuff:


11th, 12th, 13th May


Writing this very belatedly as was far too busy playing to write anything down! The first few days it was so exciting to watch Alvaro play the drum parts and experiment with new sounds, but later on in the week we concentrated on piano and keys, which meant that it was up to me (Julia, that is) to play rather than type on Mark's laptop.


It was nerve-wracking at first but I adored every second of it. We laid down all kinds of different takes for each song and it was such a pleasure to play such a beautiful piano - I'd forgotten what a difference it makes to the sound, the song, and the playing itself. I also got to play the vibraphone, the Hammond organ, and the Wurlitzer, and generally felt like a hyperactive five-year old in a toyshop.


Now the songs are being edited - and we will keep you posted on the next steps...


Wednesday 9th May


The drums are nearly done for all five tracks, putting us nicely on schedule.

Some people dont realise the album is already out by reading the comments on utube. We might get more sales if you make it clear on the front page.

Its not mentioned that you can download the song for free.

Second Person made a classy album with exquisite songs in a relaxed style. The limited edition also contains 5 video's (4 of them in the making).

Great band ......

London based Second Person blend their influences of hip hop, jazz and electronica with strong songwriting to form a unique sound that is post trip hop. Although influenced by trip hop heroes such as Bristol's Portishead, singer/pianist Julia Johnson, producer/bassist Mark Maclaine and drummer Alvaro Lopez can nevertheless claim their own distinctive sound, contrasting beautiful vocals with dark basslines, sublime piano riffs and killer beats.
Walter M. 16.12.07 64

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to Second Person

Wish you a successful 2008!
