Debut album from hotly-tipped Leeds band Four Day Hombre, this is epic indie-rock on a par with Elbow and Doves. The album is released on their fan-funded label Alamo Music and was recorded in France early 2005 with producer Dave Odlum (Gemma Hayes - Mercury Award nominated, The Frames, Mark Geary, Josh Ritter, dEUS). It was mastered by Louis Teran (Dave Matthews Band, The Futureheads, Pink, Snow Patrol) at Marcussen Mastering in Hollywood, California. Partially inspired by the book `Among the Bohemians: Experiments in Living 1900-1939" by Virginia Nicholson, the album is exactly this: an exercise in freedom outside the mainstream music industry, and the right to create something to prove that it deserves to exist. Nostalgia, sadness and a pure and innocent hope that things really can get better are themes that run through this album. Its sound is classic: eschewing the `loud and the now"; its delicate and intimate melodies blend with enraptured moments of intensity. Alamo Records. 2006.
