"we're going to be friends"..............no charting action!
Jack and Meg's third....
their first to chart in their homeland....
moving away from the pseudo-blues rock sound....
Garage Rock might be what I would call it...
they've honed their sound and their quirky lyrics/melody's here....
a pretty good album,and one I don't get mixed feelings about once its finished...
cover shows faceless men snapping polaroids, its Jack's offbeat way of a protest
that music has become an 'industry' instead of 'art', I don't see it, but its his album and
he can do as he pleases....
I LIKE THIS ALBUM:
worst track: aluminium
best track: hotel yorba
LOL....Jools introduces them as 'brother and sister' duo...they were married!
