That band off that advert they did y'know some time back Aqualung are to release a new album in March.
So far Memory Man only has a confirmed release date of March 6th in the US, but a spokesman promised me personally that others in the rest of the world will follow.
The record, put together by mainman Matt Hales, features a number of guests; including brother Ben Hales and Paul Buchanan of The Blue Nile fame.
What is to be learned from tracklistings? I'm not sure. In my experience they are but semi-useful sonic prods hinting at an overriding aesthetic or theme. If that gets your juices flowing, then here's one to study:
'Cinderella'
'Pressure Suit'
'Something To Believe In'
'Glimmer'
'Vapour Trail'
'Rolls So Deep'
'The Lake'
'Black Hole'
'Outside'
'Garden Of Love'
'Broken Bones'
The first single taken from the record will be Pressure Suit which, Aqualung's website informs us, will be hitting airwaves in the US "very soon".
