The House Of Love - Days Run Away

* * * * *

Much to my astonishment, copies of this 2004 comeback album from the Chadwick/Bickers House Of Love line-up are still available if you look for them.  Ten really strong tracks are here, although the album only clocks in at 37 minutes.  Favourite tracks are the single "Gotta Be That Way", "Love You Too Much" and "Kit Carter".  The latter song seems to be about the Lennon assassination.  Bickers has returned to the fold after his psychedelic band Levitation.  He is even on the front cover, looking full of mischief!  The track "Maybe You Know" seems to be about the band, the split and the reformation.  The crisp recording is by Pat Collier of Vibrators and Soft Boys fame.

I saw this line-up of the band in London in 2005, since when I think they have played just one more date there, based around their Creation-era output.  What has happened to them since? Maybe you know.   At the moment I can only direct you to the Wiki and say watch this space!  They are fantastically tight and melodic - true heirs to the Beatles And The Stones. 

Shine On.
