This song appeared on the original CD release as a hidden track. A few minutes of bar/club noise courtesy of the long gone Birmingham "Hippodrum" was recorded and place after the listed closing track "Fastlane."
This edit retains the last few seconds of the bar noise at the beginning of the song. This was one of the best early songs by the Ashes and for some strange reason, it was relegated to a hidden track.
This was recorded in one take in the live room at WorkPlay's recording studio.
Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness. Bandcamp New & Notable May 13, 2016
