I love Nixon, but on an album that was always going to be a difficult sell to fans due to its production, the fact they went and put out the one actual synthpop song - on which James doesn't even sound like James - as the lead single was utter fucking madness.
Singles aren't a market for them anymore, so it's mostly just a case of what might get some airplay on Radio 2 or daytime SixMusic, and Orwellian makes total sense in that area.
edit: literally managed to start a new page with the phrase "I love Nixon". Well done me.
