The Nicky led tracks have been amongst my favourite of the last 2 records (The Left Behind & My Drowning World). An 80’s influenced album sounds right up my alley.

Crucially James mentions “the next record” so my fear of imminent endings were thankfully unfounded.

Oh, so it's like their entire discography, but in condensed form! How meta!

I also quite like the manic-Nicky tracks mostly. The Left Behind is quite good even if it is just Nicky stealing Jarvis Cocker's solo schit for a bit. But three tracks does seem like a sign that James has finally got to to the end of his rolodex of singers he can pawn off half his vocal duties to.

Sounds to me like RiF Part 2.

All these months and they still haven't got a title for it!
But yes, sounds like the sort of thing I can get behind.
And the clocks spin on until it's release. Very heartened to hear they are planning another album.
Or it could be a double bluff?
Thanks for the update!

I thought the same too. Especially as, with that album as well, the band mentioned it didn’t have a cohesive theme, & that they were just trying to get the best from every song.
