Release Notes:

With their superb first album 'The End Of The Pier', The Workhouse managed to
fuse the influences of the post-rock giants of the day with the often unfairly
overlooked melodrama of Kitchens Of Distinction. It was a thrilling emotional
ride. 'Flyover' is some twenty minutes shorter in length but its concise
approach still finds space for some drawn out, passionate music. One of the key
differences this time is that there are more vocal tracks; many of which recall
the approach of Redjetson in the way that the bruising vocals and the guitars
push and grind for a state of emotional exhaustion so much so that 'Boxing Day's
lyric of "The world is a brighter place now" seems more than a little ironic.
Elsewhere, the towering title track is the most ecstatic of the sung songs and
the pretty Kitchens OD-style signatures on 'Big Sam' make it the stunning,
shimmering centrepiece of the record. In fact, from start to finish, this is a
real, euphoric sugar rush of a record.
