Between the Buttons

A fog-drenched detour into baroque pop and English satire. Harpsichords, recorders, and music-hall brass replace the band's usual blues swagger.

Baroque pop detour

A hazy, hungover elegance hangs over these recordings, trading the band's signature blues grit for a sophisticated, artful British pop craftsmanship. The arrangements feel light and intricate, layering the mournful wheeze of an accordion and delicate woodwinds over a dry, acoustic-leaning rhythm section that captures London in a morning fog.

Moments Worth Waiting For
12Something Happened to Me YesterdayThe jaunty, music-hall piano and brass on 'Something Happened to Me Yesterday' create a playful, vaudevillian atmosphere that closes the album on an eccentric note.
05She Smiled SweetlyA prominent, buzzing autoharp and a cyclical, acoustic guitar pattern drive the folk-like arrangement of 'She Smiled Sweetly'.
