Finally…our long-awaited debut album “The Legend Of Yeti Gonzales” will be released on June 23, and it can be found at the usual places. Amazon, HMV and Recordstore are all doing special deals (Amazon are now back in stock). How they manage to make a profit at these prices we don’t know, maybe it’s a just pride thing?
TRACK LIST:
01 OBVIOUSLY
Jangle-jangle. This is the jangliest song possible.
02 DON’T GO BACK TO THE ONE YOU LOVE
“Turn the lights out, shut the window, burn your old clothes, don’t use the telephone…Steal the next car, drive to Mexico.” Windy drama from the Mexican border. Listen out for Graham’s whistling. Video’s on YOUTUBE.
03 TIL THE WEEKEND COMES
The Anti-Weekend song. All these hip bands wanna big up and brag about their weekends. Buffoons! Anyway, isn’t Wednesday the new Friday? Is the Pope black?
04 MERRY GO ROUND
“Me I’m just a stranger, but here they know my name.
Paid to see the madman in a shiny cage.”
Tales from the Van, as they say.
05 IN LIKE WITH YOU
“True baby true, I’m in like with you, but don’t ask me if I love you ‘cos I wouldn’t want to lie to you.”
The Anti-Love song. As in the feeling, not the band (the good one, not The Feeling).
06 SHANE MACGOWAN
Roots music with a legendary title. Texan-esque ELO ending.
07 MIDNIGHT FLIGHT
“I wake up in the morning and I think it’s just a dream
But then I see the bodies on my tiny TV screen
I put my bloodstained clothing in my washing machine
And it cleanses my senses of the horrors that they’ve seen.”
>:->
08 JERMYN GIRLS
“There’s no coming down - not when you get so high
You see the Jermyn Girls - live in a distant world.”
True story. If someone offers you drugs on Greek Street, Soho, it’s gonna be a tissue ball.
09 NEVER LOSE YOUR SENSE OF WONDER
One day this song will be in an ad for some fizzy drink or chewing gum in a foreign country. Preferably Brazil, so we can use the Portuguese samba version.
10 REPRISE
Part 2 of Track 2. Yeti goes semi-prog. It’s what happens if you let the tape run.
11 CAN’T PRETEND
This is the summer in the basement song. Recorded at 4am. And it’s in Mono!
12 SISTER SISTER
“Hold on tighter to the friends that you made in the life that you once knew.”
13 THE LAST TIME YOU GO (6 FEET UNDER)
“Six feet underground, never to be found
This will be the last time that you go.”
Don’t mess with Yeti, okay?
14 WHO IS GONZALES
??? Buy the album and find out. It’s the one after 909.
The album will also be available on iTunes (worldwide) and other download sites. Order now at HMV or CARGO RECORDS.
For those outside of the UK you can either order from iTunes or from one of the UK indie stores like Rough Trade, Norman Records, Cargo Records etc.
Sincerest,
Yeti Secretary
