about

We are proud to announce the first release from our next album, inspired by the Alfred Hitchcock classic 1935 film The 39 Steps. For this album, we took a new approach by writing an album intended to loosely accompany the film - one song for each major scene. We hope it appeals to both existing fans of our music and Hitchcock fans as well.

We'll be releasing each song as a single in the coming weeks, finally releasing the collection as an album shortly thereafter. We hope you enjoy what you hear!

lyrics

Lyrics

I came in from the cold at a music hall
Where I heard this sound
Ladies and gentlemen I present to you
The most remarkable man in the world
From history, geography, newspapers and more
Every fact every word every syllable
He remembers them all
Ask him a question

Only the truth will set you free
You can't remember what he's trying to forget
Mr Memory

From the corner of my eye there was a flash of light
Two shots in the crowd
There were screams and shouts and a stampede out
Had to keep my head down
I was carried away through the passageway
As I pushed my way through
She grabbed my coat and whispered can I come home with you?
It's your funeral

Only the truth will set you free
You can't remember what he's trying to forget
Mr Memory

For your entertainment this is what he’ll do
The answers lie inside his head its true

Only the truth will set you free
You can't remember what he's trying to forget
Mr Memory

Their sound takes their influences’ jangly past and brings it into a caffeinated now, with high energy records and performances.” Jingle Punks Magazine ... more
