Release Notes:

Operahouse are an ambitious bunch, as big and
expensive-sounding as their moniker suggests. Their ambition
doesn't stop at frontman Jonny's desire to be considered a
peer of Thom Yorke and David Bowie, or the a-Muse-ing way each
and every song here builds into a massive chorus that makes up
in bombastic hooks what it lacks in subtlety. It extends to
the lyrics, which they hope will 'set us apart from all these
depressing bands singing about recession', not to mention the
emptiness of she's so loverlee' type 'shitty indie-pop'
platitudes. So they deliver fantasy-fuelled science fiction
tales of rockets from the sun, love interrupted by alien
abduction and a man who freezes himself over girl trouble and
wakes up to witness the apocalypse. It makes a change, but
musically they're not yet quite so imaginative, sounding more
Rialto than Pink Floyd. But dramatic and geeky? Matt Bellamy
best watch his back.

This was released digitally on 6th April 2009 and will be
released phsyically sometime this summer.
