With the new album now available everywhere through this link here (amongst other places) I was wondering what we think of it all, and what’s our favourite track on it, come to that?  For me it’s “The Lights Change”, indeed from the first hearing it was and a couple of hundred listens to the whole album now, it still is!! Now, I know I’m a fraction biased but the whole album hits all my most sensitive spots all the way through… that’s obviously why I love the boys so very much, everything appeals all the time.
For me it’s great to hear recorded versions of “Spiralina Girl”, “Come on Feel the Lemonheads” and “The Smack of Pavement in Your Face” after numerous live outings, especially from the last Germany/Austria tour, wunderbar! And all the new songs fit perfectly inside my head, another album that just repeats and repeats for as long as I have time to listen. And finally, just to scare her, my fave lyric has to be… “there is a Bridie shaped, space within my arms…” except I change it to “Cheryl, Basti & Josie-shaped” of course.

My favourite track by far is The Reservoir. The first few times I heard it, I had tears in my eyes. It’s rare I have such an emotional reaction to ANY music.
Mine is “The Lights Change” too. And I really like your comments about being in a band and writing songs. I can relate to most of what you write…
The Lights Change is the stand out track, followed closely by Spiralina Girl, love the guitar on that.
It is really nice that you are picking up on The Lights Change – it seemed quite an odd track when we were putting it together!
It is also worth saying that for me The Reservoir is not a sad song to play or hear. I find it uplifting and comforting, as though Dad is paying me a visit during the song… especially the bit in the middle when he is laughing at me…
“The Smack Of The Pavement In Your Face”, definitely. Can you please post the lyrics somewhere – strong and poetic, love the song. And “Julie Christie!”, but that´s a different story 🙂
