I was really struggling to put in to words just how these recent developments made me feel.  between this post by KC, and the post by Lauren under the "Grace Goes Solo" post, that pretty much sums it up.  This whole thing just feels strange.  I would have been just fine with it, if after a year apart, an announcement had come out and said, the Nocturnals were no more, and Grace was going solo.  But that's not what happened.  We saw pictures and videos of them all together in the studio.  They were working on something.  Hopefully we'll find out what at some point.  It almost feels like the "plug" was pulled, and then Grace went solo.  I hope that's not the case, but again, there's no communication from her camp.  
I will always treasure the memories of the 5 years that I have loved this band.  I was fortunate enough to see them live 12 times (including last year's Grand Point North festival).  They are the best live band I have ever seen, and that's what made them so special to me.  I wish the best for the band, and I hope we find out that they aren't just victims of Grace going for a quick buck, or for some level of fame that has eluded her up to this point.
