Broke, worn out and exhausted, Skipping Girl Vinegar crawled into the studio with their hobos in tow in the week before Christmas 09 to record their new single â€ÂËœOne Long Weekâ€Ââ„¢, the first release from what will be part of their follow-up sophomore album. Working with Melbourne indie producer Nick Huggins (Kid Sam, Seagull, Whitley) and Greg Arnold, the band have ventured into new territories whilst retaining their organic hobo pop aesthetic, uncovering a dark and overwhelming melodic classic.

Mixed in January 2010 in Nashville by American indie legend Brad Jones (Josh Rouse, Bob Evans), who mixed SGVâ€Ââ„¢s debut album, the new single â€ÂËœOne Long Weekâ€Ââ„¢ uncovers the whirlwind of the previous year of endless independent touring and the release of their acclaimed debut album â€ÂËœSift The Noiseâ€Ââ„¢.

After returning from Nashville in February 09, SGV hit the road running and found themselves stumbling into a shopping centre overwhelmed by the presence of a giant polyurethane reindeer that hailed the arrival of December, and its associated Christmas paraphernalia. With this came the realisation that an entire year had slipped into the vortex of what had felt like one long week.

â€ÂËœOne Long Weekâ€Ââ„¢ Tour

Surfacing from the studio, refreshed from the summer break and a cracking set at the Pyramid Rock Festival, Skipping Girl Vinegar are gearing up to head out on the indie highway on an east coast tour to celebrate the release of their new single â€ÂËœOne Long Weekâ€Ââ„¢. Be sure to gather into the ivy covered woodland set and experience Skipping Girl Vinegar perform new songs from their eagerly anticipated second album, as well as old favorites from Sift The Noise.
