Diablo Swing Orchestra have posted the following update on the band's MySpace page:

"Hi there, here are some news what's happening in the world of d:s:o:

We have about 7-8 new songs in various stages of completion and we are really happy with how the songs are sounding so far.
It's always hard to say how they will turn out in the end but so far they can be described as more "detailed" in lack of a better word. All the ingrediences from the first album will still be present and some new ones such as gospel, tango and russian folk music will also make an apperance. Furthermore the arrangements will be more thought-through and we're writing with a clearer idea how we can go about in the studio to make it as awesome as possible. We also feel as the cello has really found it's place through the more well-crafted arrangements and is really allowed to shine, so everybody can expect some really cool cello riffs.;) This time around we'll also have the chance to play some of the songs live before we go into the studio and get them onto tape.

We only have rough working titles for 2 of the songs yet and they are "The vodka inferno" and "Stratosphere serenade".

The plan is to start recording some demos in September - Oktober. When the actual recording sessions will start for the next record is not yet determined but we're hoping for somewhere around april-may 2008.

And even though it's risky to announce anything before it's 100% we'll stick our neck out and say that chances are good that d:s:o will cause some mayhem in Germany in September. More news on this and other gigs soon. The only confirmed gig for now is Progpower UK 3 on the 29th of March 2008.

The album was released as planned in Russia through MALS and the CIT states on the 26th of June and the feedback seems to be good so far, we'll post any reviews and such when we have them. Other than that we are eagerly awaiting the European re-release of the album on the 13th of August through Candlelight. We have been getting quite a lot of emails asking where to buy the album that we have to turn down or direct to US online shops since we right now are all sold out of the first print.

We would also like to say a big thank you to everybody who sends messages, emails, letters and shows their support in general. We have been overwhelmed by how well the first record has been recieved and we are working hard as hell so you will not be dissapointed by our second effort.

Stay swinging and see you out there!"
