2006 Release of the Sophomore Album from the Refugees of the Sunderland City Youth Project. Singer/Guitarist Barry Hyde Says "a Few People Might Be Surprised by What They Might Hear. I Think It's Many Leaps Beyond What We've Been Doing...it's Quite a Brave Statement of an Album." The Band Used a Unique, Architecturally-conscious Recording Approach, Utilizing a Farm that Doubled as a Studio: "Every Room Has Its Own Sound and Its Own Personality in Any Building." The Farm Has "Some Very Bright-sounding Rooms, Some Dull-sounding Rooms for Contrast. We Used the Greenhouse for Some Guitar Parts...we Put Microphones around the Courtyard, We Recorded the Drums in a Cowshed and Backing Vocals in the Stables, We Recorded Percussion Parts in the Cellar." The Project was Produced by Ben Hillier (Blur, Depeche Mode, Doves). Includes the First Single "Skip to the End".
