Great looking tracklisting:
- Stay Here And Take Care Of The Chickens
- Eskimo Kiss
- Never Go Home Again
- My Head Gets Screwed On Tighter Every Year
- Cut Them Down In The Passes
- Hoops
- Spaghetti
- Give Me A Second Chance
- The West Country
- Come Home Tessa Buckman
- Seagulls
- Long Black Cars
A nice selection of tracks people have been enjoying live recently (My Head..., Hoops, Spaghetti, Give Me A Second Chance), tracks we've been waiting for (Chickens, Long Black Cars) and the odd surprise (the brilliant Eskimo Kiss, previously available on their website as a free download).
And that's not all, it looks like there will be a single preceding the LP as soon as February 13th, with Fortuna Pop putting out the 7inch:
And the b-side is the excellent Stay This Way A Little While which could be single in itself judging by the live versions I've heard.
No mention of the LP on vinyl though. As someone who is still waiting for Beer In The Breakers on vinyl this may mean upcoming disappointment. Even if Moshi Moshi aren't pressing it you'd hope one of the benevolent labels in Europe (Little Teddy Recordings, Acuarela) or the UK (Fortuna Pop, WIAIWYA) would get to put it out. I'm sure the band want it on that format so it's even more disappointing if it's not possible.
Whoa, it looks amazing, and yay: it's got Hoops and Spaghetti on it! I wonder whether they might put a version of Eskimo Kiss with Jonny on the mic on the album. I think he's singing it at concerts now. And I don't think the WPs are likely to put a recording from 2006 on the album.
