The album includes our previous single "The Stupid Ones", written when Trump won the election, and the upcoming single "Distant Light", which is about the people stranded on the sinking Titanic. Enjoy!
Larry wrote a few words about the album:
For a little while the world seemed almost normal. And we seized the opportunity. That brief period between the pandemic and Mr. Putin's invasion of Ukraine gave Dennis and me some breathing space, a pause from the madness, and a chance to start working on a new album. Since our last proper album, "Pop", I had written twenty-four new songs to record. Twelve of those were intended for the next album, whereas the other 12 would be released as B-sides.
The first songs to be recorded – and indeed the only ones to be released – from these sessions were "The Stupid Ones" and "Tom Jones", both included on our last EP to date in October 2021.
The next EP, "Delicate Situation", was scheduled for a March 2022 release. Everything but the artwork was ready when we heard of Putin's invasion of Ukraine. And that was the end of that. It suddenly felt blasphemous to release a song about humanity "moving in the right direction". After a week or so of shock I wrote a complete new set of lyrics (more pessimistic this time), still intent on releasing the song. But before we got around to record it a bucket load of shit hit both our fans, and we had to abort the sessions.
I was still intent on completing the album once our personal matters were settled. But it was not to be. What was recorded during that brief pause was a handful of album tracks, and a handful of B-sides. That's all. But what was recorded is much too good to just be buried on hard disc drives in my studio.
So, ladies and gentlemen, here it is; every song recorded or remixed by Eurotix August 2021-January 2022. This is not the album we intended to make - but I hope you will agree that together these songs still make up a pretty good album of Pause Music."
