I like the lists of influences and references for this record as I think they speak volumes.Influences - everything from 'Scary Monsters' / 'Golden Years' - era Bowie and his work with Eno and Visconti to Jay-Z, Hall and Oates, the chops of Hot Chocolate and even the folk licks of Richard Thompson.
References - Glasgow and girls, girls, girls, current, future, past and fictional, Mongolian Warlords, Bears, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, Baader-Meinhoff and Scientology.
The album was recorded at Edwyn Collins' West Heath yard studio in London and it was produced by Bernard Butler. As with the first album it's all in all a ridiculously catchy dancefloor filling rock 'n' roll album that's a perfect accompaniment to teenage kicks.
