It seems one of our bigger jobs on a yearly basis is to update this page and just move the year ahead by one. So the band is continuing its extended hiatus, once again though below is the latest on the side projects and a few re-issues. Chris is working under the Bracken moniker and is currently working on the follow up to his We Know About the Need album on Anticon. Richard is working on new The Declining Winter material following up 2009's Haunt the Upper Hallways opus on Home Assembly Music. Gaz is Gareth S. Brown and has released two albums on Misplaced Music. New material on Misplaced Music is due in Spring 2010. Mark is Maggie8 and is working on his debut album after several limited edition releases. There are some plans for re-issues of older Hood material in the pipeline, the first of which will be a limited vinyl pressing of Singles Compiled and Compilations 1995-2002 on Misplaced Music due autumn/winter 2010.

New album is out now on Home Assembly Music! It comes in elaborate packaging which includes a three track 7-inch and a ten track CD all in their own artwork. In addition to this the first 200 come with a bonus remix CD including the likes of Part Timer, Strategy, Winter North Atlantic, Fieldhead, Library Tapes. The Declining Winter is the current project from Hood co-founder Richard Adams.

Rather long overdue, but at last, here it is! The site's still a work in progress, with a fair bit yet to be added/tweaked/perfected. However, it's a vast improvement on the old site (if I do say so myself). So, welcome! Comments, questions, suggestions and anything web-related, please sent it my way or comment here. Kind regards,Sara
