Release Notes:
--------
I was well acquainted with most of The Parlotones new songs after following them
to almost every venue they played in Joburg - so you can understand why I was so
excited to get my hands on a copy of this album. æA World Next Door To YoursÆ is
yet another example of South African music being underrated in the international
scene. Due to the reaction of their previous album æRadioControlledRobotÆ, The
Parlotones have been making waves north of the equator, and are generating a new
interest in the ignored talent in this country.

Produced by Cape Town based Theo Crous, the production is of international
standard. It is easy to tell that there has been a lot of work put into this
album, and not only time and skill, but for a Joburg (or according to MySpace,
UK) based band, itÆs not easy to just pop down to the studio when it is based in
Cape Town. These guys know that playing hard goes hand in hand with working hard
and it has definitely paid off.

The album is captivating and easy to listen to which is vital for testing
further markets. It still has the unmistakable æParlotonesÆ sound and style
which put them on the music map in the first place. ItÆs a great example of a
band being true to themselves while collecting as many people as they can to
join in on the ride.

The word æsoundtrackÆ keeps popping up when people discuss this album, it even
shows up in one of the songs, but it really is a great way to explain the album
as a whole. The lyrics seem to tell more of a story than before. They are
beautifully poetic and Kahn knows how to take a simple idea or feeling and bring
it to life. The songs on this album are slower and more soulful than before but
there are still the more quirky upbeat songs that keep the album alive.

If all you have heard off this album is æGiant MistakeÆ on Highveld while stuck
in the traffic in the mornings, you are in for a surprise when you buy (not
copy) this album. There are so many potential singles throughout that will keep
you more and more interested in what The Parlotones have to offer.
