Any idea where to pre order this?
£25 on Amazon and can't find it anywhere else!

Looks like it's available as a vinyl, CD, & digital download. You can order from Amazon, though curiously the vinyl comes out later (March 31st) than the CD (March 17th). iTunes has the digital download. I saw on twitter that spinningdiscssheffield.co.uk has a presale for the vinyl & can acquire the CD as well.

Jarvis wanted to make a Burt Bacharach style record it seems, from the small previews

Sounds good, although i'm not too sure about a whole record. We shall wait and see :)

I will have to blast Further Complications right after, should make a nice contrast biggrin

Any sign of a guitar?!

Thanks for that, Andy.

Again, seems like the vocal is so up on the mix. Like the recent recording of Happy New Year Baby. I can't hear past it.
Did Jarvis suddenly fall in love with his voice? He used to disparage it quite regularly, but these songs are all breath and upfront. Absolutely no echo or reverb or anything.

From the samples, i guess their way of thinking was to produce a natural, almost live record. and with every piano based records, the voice is pushed upfront, coz the piano can't be the main instrument on "pop" songs on a whole record, unlike a guitar, which is has an instrument that can fill a whole recording.

The best example i could give is this one : Painted From Memory by Elvis Costello Burt Bacharach

https://www.amazon.com/Painted-Memory-Elvis-Costello/dp/B00000AFFF

It's a record i listened to a lot when i was younger. I wonder if Jarvis has a soft spot for it, coz the concept sound very samey, though they didn't mention any drums

Costello's voice is pushed upfront

Dont know if anyone has a deezer account

but anyway, two tracks in full here : Tearjerker and Tearjerker Returns

www.deezer.com/artist/3640

First impressions on Tearjerker : it's very piano bar-ish, imagine you are in the movie Lost in Translation, drinking brandy in an hotel bar full of strangers and there's a crooner singing along a simple piano.

Tearjerker Returns is the same tune with strings, it's an instrumental

Overall, this is a nice tune, if the rest is of that quality, it will be a different album to add to the collection. Not Pulp, not Jarvis solo, well not for the most part, but a bit sounding like I Will Kill Again or Baby's Coming Back to Me.

There's a website for the album now, you can hear both version of "Tearjerker" in full - www.room29.tv/

Additionally, I'd like to add the lyrics to the wiki but there's no page for the album or the song yet & i'm not sure where it should go. Jarvis side projects, perhaps?

Tearjerker sounds like Bibo no Aozora? (Ryuichi Sakamoto). I hope they bring Room 29 to Canada so I can watch.

Thank you for the Bibo no Azoro advise. Very beautiful music.
I like "Tearjerker". I tried to follwo the lyrics but I could't understand them all. What I understood made me think of O.U.

She's at the station
because she's leaving town
Oh, you can stop her
if you get out of bed

Do you think that is a similar situation?

You are such a jerk
you are a tearjerker
you don't need a girlfriend
you need a social worker
She's waiting at the airport
you're in your hotelroom
with someone who doesn't know you

I think it's very similar.

Chilly Gonzales said in a recent interview (cant remember if it was the RedBull lecture or this weeks Nerdist podcast) that he and Jarvis have been working on this project for 6/7 years.

In the video above don't they say two years (as at Dec'14) which makes sense seeing Jarvis stayed in the hotel with Pulp in 2012.

It doesn't matter - these are still our glory days.
