Re: New single „Dancing star“ (digital April 3rd / CD May 3rd)
Can't be long before the first fan review...! Presumably the embargo on reviews lifts quite soon? Meanwhile, let's play 'guess the ballads' - based on what we know, and on track lengths, I'll go for: - Feel - Why am I dancing? - The secret of happiness - Love is the law But I think this album might ...

Re: Single or album version preferences
Everything I loved about Flamboyant seemed to be taken out of the single mix. Tomcraft all the way for me..

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless
The title now feels like a comment on their own inseparability.
The urgent, dramatic plot and theme of escape is a keynote.
I love the instrumental middle 8 - the synth line with those descending chords interacting with the strings. Another taster of the classic PSB sound.

Re: New album Nonetheless
Yes indeed. Mods?
It's not a good look for this forum when THE new album thread becomes a battle ground like this.

Re: New album Nonetheless
I am quietly excited. The unrelenting strobes and lasers phase grew a little wearisome by the time of Hotspot, but Hoping for a miracle and Burning the heather temporarily slaked a thirst for complex Tennant narratives dwelling inside expansive Lowe soundscapes without so much of the intrusive +8 pi...

Re: Wilderness years?
It might be nice to have a ballads thread. For me, their ballads include some of their strongest, as well as some of their weakest, moments.... Off the top of my head, the following are all treasured, indispensable Tennant/Lowe - Later tonight - It couldn't happen here - Do I have to? - Your funny u...

Re: Your bet for main single of "Nonetheless"
If I were a betting man, I'd think the second single might be 'Feel'... this is based on nothing in particular, except the very universal / generic quality of the title, and the fact that it wasn't mentioned in the Guardian piece - so possibly embargoed for maximum impact for a single release? I'm g...

Re: Piano Room Month - 2024
Loneliness is the sort of vocal track that Neil often struggles with, but this is great... the arrangement is great.

Re: New Single - Loneliness
3 weeks on, and Loneliness has settled firmly into elite post-imperial status.
To my taste, it joins Love Etc at the top of the list of post-Very lead singles.

Re: Your bet for main single of "Nonetheless"
Er, the first one? The only one so far? It coincided with the album launch. No other song is going to be able to do that.
It never ceases to amaze me, Nickname.

Re: New Single - Loneliness
Does anyone have a clue how the single is performing chart wise? Mid-week? I know its a long shoot for a good chart placement. It won't make the top 40, if that's what you mean. It did make the top 20 of the airplay chart, however, though it has fallen from 17 to 21 this week despite increasing its...

Re: New Single - Loneliness
That’s what happens with songs now. Got to get that chorus in within 30 seconds or else it’ll get skipped on Spotify. The attention span of people today is diabolical. I’m a dj and one of the regular (and I mean literally 20 songs out of every 50) I’m sent have what can only be described as a short...
