The third release in the past five years from this group founded by SIMON JOHNS (STEREOLAB) and ANDREW BLACK (FELT, PRIMAL SCREAM), and their first to feature vocals, courtesy of Brighton folkstress MARY HAMPTON. Ten songs about breaking up, self-doubt and the death of close friends, delivered with the band’s signature catchy riffs and grooves with plaintive, fragile melodies on top. Rounding out the album are JOE WATSON (Stereolab) and LEE ADAMS, along with guest appearances from DOMINIC JEFFERY (Stereolab) and JEAN EMMANUELLE (aka BAIKONOUR).
