Timmy speaking!

New update!!




Tim says: I think it's about trying to tell a story, in the 40 minutes or something, I don't think there's ever a formula for that. A lot of records nowadays are incredibly front loaded, you know in between hit singles - they're the first two songs - you kinda loose interest after that, a lot of them are like that. But if you look back over the many classic albums over the last 50 years a lot of them really haven't *something* in really unexpected and really interesting ways, so it would be fantastic is we could do something like that, but it's interesting how certain songs feeling like they belong in a certain quarter of the album, like there's definitely two songs that I feel were intended to be the last songs on the album, Bedshaped was very much like that, I think when you have a last track on the album, you know. And we always thought Atlantic would be the first song on the album even when it was in demo shape. I don't really know why, I think it just felt like it was building towards something. I think we've got an idea for the first song on this record as well, I think it'll be much more a blast of energy this time, rather than that slow down feel of Atlantic or whatever. I hope we never make a record that feels like it gets a bit boring in the last third. I hope it tells a story and takings a journey.

Can't wait for the album!!! and there's a big rumour about the launch of their new single called 'Spiraling' on their website (a free download) At least that's what Ben from Virgin Radio said.
