Kite ...nadine’s demo for this was beautiful and really sparse. I sat with it for a whole day trying to think of how to do it justice, almost gave up on it then played that one not guitar thing and recorded the whole backing tracks on about an hour #TimsTwitterListeningParty

#ladiesforbabies working title Brooobeck, the sample at the start of this comes from my kids CD skipping (probably had jam or snot on it) and playing that great rhythm. Quick! Record it on your phone!! #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Club Cougar...This was inspired by an ace night out in a club in Cairo after a gig we did there. Amazing music and hospitality #TimsTwitterListeningParty #kitchensink

Mother Fighter ...I love Nadine’s vocal on this, fantastic lyrics too. The unrelenting drum beat nearly kills me every time we play it live though 😰#TimsTwitterListeningParty

Relief ...Nadine’s original demo for this one was in 3. I couldn’t work out a way to groove in 3 so put an extra beat in each bar. @pete_wareham on the pitch-shift sax 🎷 #TimsTwitterListeningParty
