Release Notes:

Hobotalk are a Scottish band playing the songs of singer/songwriter Marc Pilley.
Having started as a drummer, Pilley started songwriting in 1989. Together with
guitar-player Ross Edmond, Al Denholm (Bass) and Iain Bruce (Drums), he founded
Hobotalk in the late 1990s. In 1999, Hobotalk signed to Hut Records. Debut-EP
Pictures of Romance was released in November 1999. Both the EP and the following
Scotland-Tour (supporting the indie-rock-band Gomez (band)) received positive
critical response for their heartfelt sound rooted in American-style folk.
Hobotalk's Debut-Album Beauty in Madness was released in 2000 and also widely
received with critical acclaim being shortlisted for the Mercury Price. Despite
all this, the album had only little sales and was hardly noticed by a wider
public.
In 2002, the band spilt from Hut Records. It was not until 2005 that a second
album was released. Notes on Sunset appeared on Circular Records (UK) and
Glitterhouse Records (Europe). Again, the album gained positive reviews, but did
not form a commercial breakthrough for the band. In 2007, Hobotalk's most recent
album Homesick for Nowhere was released.
