A sophisticated, melancholic song cycle exploring adulthood and regret through lush arrangements and crystalline 90s production. Squeeze at their most theatrical.

It's like a collection of beautifully sad short stories set to the most polished 90s pop you've ever heard.

A sophisticated, autumnal sadness that finds beauty in the mundane details of regret.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The intricate vocal interplay on Crying in My Sleep that feels like a conversation between different parts of a fractured psyche.

The sudden swell of orchestral strings during The Truth that elevates a domestic drama into something cinematic.

The way Sunday Street captures a specific British mundanity through its rhythmic, almost clockwork piano arrangement.
