The album has 15 songs and is incredibly eclectic in a really good way. From long velvety thompsonesque guitar jams to full-on soul with falsetto and horns to a James song that while not a clone of "Stockholm Syndrome" is maybe even better... and it hangs together... and it has an original cover design by Gary Panter... and the best title ever....

Look for other bits and pieces to be released sneakily in the near future.

Nice song. I didn't expect it to be so soft (because of the album's name).
It reminds me a wee bit of the popular Mr Blue Sky by ELO.
Thanks for previewing it so soon anyways.

Don't worry, there are plenty of loud songs as well.

I don't worry :)
I've never figured out if I like better the rock version or the album version of Today is the day.

Then again I don't think the title Summer Sun fits that album either. That record sounds like fall changing to winter.

Sounds good. There aren't too many other bands that can get away with the eclectic nature of recorded output as YLT. It's a freedom that other bands must envy.

Make that two thumbs pointing skyward.
a James song that while not a clone of "Stockholm Syndrome" is maybe even better... That, by the sound of it, is a track likely to make me go all dizzy on the spot.
