Finally a new band I'm excited about. Overall I feel these songs have a more mature sound than Suede. Can't say I like any of them quite as much as say "Animal Nitrate" or "Trash," but they are fucking great none the less.

"Refugees" and "Lovers" are my favorites. I would love to see this band support Morrissey for some shows.

and I'm PISSED! We also can't get that Suede, 'Singles' album! We really can get the albums but I'm NOT paying $60 greenbacks for both imports! Suede's first album will FOREVER b in my top 10 albums of all time.

Colleen, if you are interested, the Tears album I uploaded last week should still be on the server, hence available.

Typical Tower, always on the cusp of ignorance... Tell them they used to be 'The London' Suede (gawd that 'London' part has always erked me!)

Are my favourites, its a stunning album and i loVe it...

It's most certainly the best album since Quarry. The new single "Lovers" is released on June 27 with b-sides:

"Song For The Migrant Worker" (CD1)

We hide in your shadows, you don't know our names as we take you trays,
And we don't seem to matter with our straightened hair and our vacant stare,

We are clumsy, we are strange,
We are jealous,we are plain,
We're the shit that stains your daisy chain,
Oh but we'll be born again,

We drift like a landslide, with our almond eyes, like a human tide,
But yes we love our families and our children too just like you do,

We are clumsy, we are strange,
We are jealous ,we are plain,
We're the shit that stains your daisy chain
Oh but we'll be born again

We are nothing , we are sand,
We're the dirt that's on your hand,
Strung together like a daisy chain
Oh, we'll be born again

"Low-Life" (CD2)

You're a complicated person with some educated friends
And you tend to form your sentences from words wrote on your hands

But you wake up the rhythm in me, and you wake up the rhyme ,
I thought you were special but you're low-life

And you've got no inhibitions and you're almost always rude
And I don't know where your mind is when my hands are touching you

But you wake up the rhythm in me, you wake up the rhyme,
I thought you were special but you're low-life,

And when you pull the trigger in me my life isn't mine,
They said you were special but you're low-lfe

"The Primitive" (CD2)

Sometimes I look up to the sky and I see the clouds and I see the light
and I want the stars and the mud and the night to define me,
And sometimes I stare out at the sea and I see the birds and I feel the
breeze and I want the waves and the rocks and the leaves to define me

Cos I am the insect in the jar, I am the spider in the tar,
I am the worm inside your drain,
Yes we all come back to the primitive again

And sometimes I look out at the trees and I forget about the
complexities that scratch and scrape and hate and tease all around me,
And sometimes I drift out with the wind and the silence tells me simple
things and I want my lungs and my legs and my skin to define me,

Yes I am the insect in the jar, I am the spider in the tar,
I am the worm inside your drain,
Yes we all come back to the primitive again.

"Because You're Worthless" (7")

We live in a climate of greed. We live under the clouds of envy.
We live in the shadow of the pricing gun.
All around us actors and models order us to buy this and live like that .They remind us that if we don’t possess more our lives are empty ,that we are basically worthless beyond the value of the numbers in our bank accounts, that we are here just to accumulate, that the purpose of our very existence is to consume… possess and consume, possess and consume, possess and consume… the silent, hypnotic corporate mantra that is the soundtrack to our frustrated and obsessive lives.
We live in a climate of greed.
We live under the clouds of envy.
Our lives are governed by jealousy, ruled by anxiety. Always wanting more, never being satisfied. If we could just own that bathroom our lives would be perfect, if I just had that car everything would be ok, if we could just possess that dress the numbing, gnawing emptiness that reminds us of the utter pointlessness of life would go away. A life sentence of consumer addictions, shackled to the ruthless, irresponsible whims of advertising executives. Dragged along in their relentless personal slipstream, their desire for us to own more and yet more shit. Piling up mountains of possessions, fields of crap, rivers of waste.
We live in a climate of greed.
We live under the clouds of envy.
Everywhere we look we are reminded that our lives are worthless unless we are famous , powerful or wealthy. Numbers after peoples names in tabloids remind us of their worth and of our worthlessness, remind us that they are to be respected and adored simply because of mathematics. Remind us that the ladder of life has a top and a bottom
We live in a climate of greed,
We live under the clouds of envy.
We live in the shadow of the pricing gun.
We are but slaves, soon to be dust.
We live in a climate of greed.
