"...when the throttle is left open... the goosebumps really start to form." - This Is Fake DIY
"...a rewarding listen." - Big Cheese Magazine
Whilst Idlewild have been on hiatus, guitarist / songwriter Rod Jones has been busy with his solo roject The Birthday Suit. Their debut album, The Eleventh Hour, is out today!The album is a return to the noisy pop moments that originally established him as a legend in the UK music scene. Tracks like "Do You Ever?" and "On My Own" hark back to the 100 Broken Windows-esque sounds that made Idlewild one of Scotland's (or, in fact, the UK's!) best indie exports. However, it's the more introspective tracks like "They Say I Love You" and "Talking Over You" that showcase Rod's true talent as an accomplished songwriter.
If you'd like a taster of the the album, you can stream tracks on The Birthday Suit's official website or download the free album track "Do You Ever?" from the A Badge of Friendship Soundcloud page.
