Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
Our first album together and still one of the best, this was recorded in 2000, in a squatted school in Tottenham, London, which features on the cover. The image features an abandoned grand piano which was eventually rebuilt, but only after we played around with its insides a bit first. Includes deconstructed versions of songs by Tom Waits and Angelo Badalamenti. Beautiful analogue photos taken and printed by Arabella Anderson.

Includes unlimited streaming of From Memorial Crossing via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

Written against the backdrop of a steam train going through Memorial Crossing in 1958.

lyrics

Seems like some of us are born running
There's always something glowing in the distance
Wish I could stop and grind to a standstill
Wish I could stop, wish I could stay at the foot of the hill
But the answers always smile from a distance
Time and again, glowing in the distance.
Are our best years just spent wishing?
Time and again, time and again,
Lord, please don't say that.
You open the doors, they spring back in your face
You clamber the stairs, but you're sliding, sliding back down
Are our best years just spent wishing?
Lord, don't say that.
