1. Up In the Clouds
2. Welcome To My Fairground
Built on a rumbling bass groove, Up In The Clouds bursts with attitude and swagger, a squall of scattergun riffs and double-quick drums ; then surprisingly a jazz break is the eye of the storm. With lyrics consciously adding contrasting dreams of love's escapism, the whole is coupled with the touch of 'otherness' that typifies Keith's work.
On the B-side, another belter: Welcome To My Fairground intertwines acoustic and electric guitars with an athletic half sung, half-spat vocal ; driving rhythms and melodies stubbornly refusing to follow the conventions of pop songwriting. In other words, no less than we'd expect from one of Britain's most inventive young bands.
