Influences

There’s no getting away from the perennial heroes Dylan and Drake. Additionally Tim Buckley, Love and the rest of the Laurel Canyon cowboys and West Coast innovators of the 60's and 70's, John Barry's soundscapes, Bacharach's chord changes, the jazz-edged 'tea and scones' melancholy from the Canterbury scene (hats off to Robert Wyatt everyone), and Jimmy Webb’s country heartbreak. But we're not solely stuck in the past and creeping around the edges of our songs is a plethora of great 'new' music - Kings of Convenience, Josh Rouse, Joe Pernice, Elbow,Declan O'Rourke, Mojave 3, and Richard Hawley as a starter for ten (well ok seven).

Sounds LikeAll the above mixed together, gently heated and served on a mellifluous bed of sonority.

   About The Feedback File

John Almond and Tom Linneen

The 'Still Revolving' album project started back in 2003 following the release of John’s solo album 'Under Your Door' the previous year. This featured vocals from Tom and out of this sprang a new set of songs many co-written and of course the obligatory new band name. Along the way we co-opted many musical friends to add to the sonic palette. Caulfield's Nigel Penny-Lanyi was involved with the overall project in terms of mixing and production plus adding his own distinctive guitar and pedal steel parts and we are much indebted to him. Others who have helped us realise these songs include Richard Bell, original member of the Blue Aeroplanes; Tim Thornton, drummer with Fink; and the sadly departed Ian Nelson who over the years worked with brother Bill (including the sax solo on 'Ships in the Night' by by Be-Bop Deluxe). This album has been a while in the melting pot but an awful lot of love and care has gone into it and we hope the wait has been worthwhile.

Thanks for listening

John and Tom
