In the current line-up, Guy (lead vocals\/guitar) is joined by Keith Osborne (lead guitar), Hugo Degenhardt (drums) and Harry Osborne (bass).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e‘A State Of Grace’ is an eclectic collection of tracks, from the driving, grungy ‘Clouds’ to the eerie, atmospheric groove of ‘Sweet Loser’, the riffy powerful ballad ‘In My Mind’ and the folksy finale, ‘Just One More Song’. This is the first time the band’s recordings have featured instruments such as harp, pedal and lap steel guitar, banjo and violin, all adding to the unique guitar sounds we’ve come to know and love from The House of Love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe album was recorded at Pett Sounds and mixed by Babe Rainbow’s Warne Livesey.
