So guess who listened to the first track for ages thinking it was the one with James on?

I like JDB doing guest vocals. I like Public Service Broadcasting. Therefore I like this track.

Thanks for posting the link!

EDIT: Any idea who did the lyrics? Very Nicky-like...

It's the poem Gwalia Deserta by Idris Davies :)

It was a decent song - need a high quality rip to hear it better. Did JDB write the music?

He gets a joint songwriting credit in the album credits so guess he had some input. Still working my through it but seems a more expansive album than previous PSB, liking it a lot.

I've had it on repeat.

I loved Commemoration and Amnesia (1998) and musically it reminds me of that. JDB's skill at putting lovely, foreboding music to poetry is unmatched in my opinion.

It's cool. It reminds me a lot of All Alone Here (Empty Souls' B-side) plus a dash of Massive Attack's Teardrop.

Good song, good album

Totally getting the Massive Attack feel in the song, that's spot on. It's a belter of a track to help tide us over!

The entire album is brilliant and moving.

It is indeed. I think a wise choice to focus on the personal rather than the political and as a result the back half of the album is all the feels. Particularly you + me which all gets quite emotional with the gorgeous crescendo of strings.

Pretty much everything from All Out onwards is pure gold on the album, thats my only frustration to be honest that the 1st half feels a bit weak in comparison. Good shout on All Alone Here up above , very similiar melody and all the better for it!
