Every Day It’s Your Birthday is a 3:06 dose of chiming guitars and jangling joie de vivre, with sea air in your senses and summer on the radio, propelled by a jangle pop masterclass from Ashley Naylor.
The original version of the song is more sombre and melancholic with some lyrics different to the single. Together they tell a story about how regret and longing, joy and celebration can inhabit one song.
Rock Song (Radio Edit) does what it says on the tin… it really is a rock song. Imagine Iggy Pop fronting early Psychedelic Furs and you’re halfway there.
My Blues (Uncut) is a self-mocking, riff-driven romp inspired by The Who and driven by Ashley Naylor’s snarling Divinyls-like licks and searing Jeff Beck styled lead guitar.
Just for Fun featuring a star turn on Vox organ by Elvis Costello and The Attractions/Imposters’ Steve Nieve is the new single from the album Stone On Stone.
It comes with an alternative mix of album track Images of Love, revealing Steve Nieve’s multi-layered keyboard ‘orchestra’ topped by shimmering Beatle-esque harmonies.
