Speaking of the second track ‘Say‘, the band say “the lyrics were written on a drive from London to Murcia, long drives can be lonely. The radio stations kept getting lost every couple of songs so the only CD in the car got played a lot, ‘Beautiful Maladies’ a selection of Tom Waits from the Island years. It’s an album that documents Tom’s crazy era, full of insane characters of travelling freak shows members, prostitutes, senile uncles, pirates and sailors on shore leave. ‘Say‘ is a love story of two hopeless misfits that don’t fit with anyone else and don’t want to. It’s a song for the time they fall apart and get lost. Like a pair of socks.”
The video, which was premiered by French Les Inrockuptibles, is a very simple, DIY affair… “Whilst on tour in Milan we filmed an acoustic session for Rolling Stone magazine, we noticed they had a green screen room and did a quick one take with Kirstie in front of it. Slowly over the next 2 weeks, in between the playing and parties, we added a visual trip behind, in an attempt of hypnotising the viewer into saying they are also lonely. Watch in the dark on full screen for full effect.”
