Next time Simon visits this here DB, perhaps he can shed some light on his recent production experiences with the newest Clearlake material. The combination intrigues me to no end...
Cheers!

a quite amazing band. In my opinion till now, to some degree were potentially brilliant without ever quite attaining.
They really do not know how good they are, and i only hope that the forthcoming album Cedars will finally open people up to them. It is a very melancholic record, achingly beautiful in parts, but with an edge and a brutality that is both alarming and alluring. It is confident and adventurous and has so many twists and turns,it is hard to believe one band can be so strong. I had a brilliant time working with them. all lovely boys and work so hard, they deserve everything that comes to them. We worked in the Levellers studio in Brighton for about 5 weeks all in, and the results will soon be available through the fantastic Domino Records.
Stand out tracks. I Wonder If The Snow Will Settle, Trees in The City, Treat Yourself With Kindness, The Mind is Evil, Keep Smiling, I'd Really Like To Hurt You.
It sounds like you feel the 'Cedars' material is more intense than 'Lido' ( 'Lido' does sound-to me-like a batch of singles and b-sides put on a single album). I'm sure you did a great job with the material. I'm really looking forward to hearing it.
Cheers.
