Containing many shifts in tempo, this album contains a mood that was meant to feel like the last day on earth. Songs about failed cities, self-indulgent couture, faded memories, and the end of the world are assembled to evoke a soundtrack of solitude. Pastoral dance music that you dance to alone. Your soundtrack. Make no mistake though, this is not a manifesto, it is a pop record that treds happiness and sadness with great pleasure. With many nods to influences, you will hear Talking Heads, Orange Juice, the Go-Betweens, the Meters, Nillsson, John Cale and numerous others.
