Release Notes:
if stephen jones hadn't been busy on a million other
music soundtracks and solo projects for the past six
years, you could call 'between my ears theres
nothing but music' a comeback. certainly it is the
first babybird album since 'bugged', and the bands
glorious appearances at reading and leeds in the
summer of 2000. however, in the 11 new tracks on
'between my ears', fans will hear how babybird
instantly bridge the gap between 2006 and the
breadth and depth of joness previous work: from the
disarming intimacy of his much-collected early demo
albums, to the nine top-40 band hits, with the likes
of 'the f-word', 'bad old man' and 'you're gorgeous'
and on into the evocative music he has been writing
for films in the last couple of years. teaming up
again with guitarist and long-time collaborator luke
scott, and drummer rob gregory, stephen jones wrote
and recorded this babybird album in london, an old
duffer's rented cottage in norfolk and, for a time,
in a furniture-free shambling old villa somewhere
near pisa. the result, after two years of working on
carving and trimming the amount of songs into
album-size; cut down from three 80 minute cdrs worth
of material, is babybird's most eloquent and evenly
expressive album to date. opening with the fragile
ballad 'too much' and building through the swell of
beats, guitars and fuzzy pop in songs like 'dive'
and '70', the album closes with the stunning, yet
understated dreamlike epic 'beautiful place'. in
stephen jones's distinctive voice that can switch
from in a moment from conversatilonal whisper to
fullblown blast 'between my ears there's nothing but
music' is unmistakably babybird. yet in the deft
mood changes of this album, there is an effortless
shift to something deeper and more accomplished than
when babybird enjoyed their first top 40 hits.
