1. Reflection Of The Television

7. That Birthday Present

10. The Neighbours Can’t Breathe
11. At The Burnside
Guitarist Andy MacFarlane explained the recording process “We made a point of staying home to write. Writing on tour is a bad idea, so we stayed in Scotland for the full process. It let us go home after sessions – if we weren’t getting snowed-in the studio – and we had more time to experiment and develop the ideas we had.”
He continues “There are no big, long delayed guitars, just a lot more noisy ones and there were a few songs that maxed out the desk because of the amount that’s on there!”
Here’s the video for their forthcoming single ‘I Became A Prostitute‘, which is out on August 3rd through FatCat Records:
