"This is us truthfully, we're thirty-two, a couple of us have got divorced,
we're pissed off, and we've taken all the drugs and we've done all that stuff
and we're still alive, and this is what we sound like. And you know what?
We're much better at it now." (EC)
"It wasn't a cosy album to do, but by that time I was used to the odd bass guitar curving in a graceful arc from one end of the studio to the other, towards the drummer's head." (Nick Lowe) |
