This indeed sucks - I've heard the new album, and SOMEBODY should pick it up
and release it ASAP. It's excellent, and the only way I can describe it is
by saying take the tune "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" and imagine Roland & Curt
revisiting that Beatle vibe filtered thru an XTC strainer. Better than
could have been expected.
The website MelodicRock.com has reported that TFF were dropped by BMG during
the recent purge of the Arista label - apparently Arista is no longer an
autonomous imprint, but rather is being folded into the united BMG music
machine. The report goes on to say that TFF is shopping for a new label to
release "Everybody Loves A Happy Ending." So I don't know who to believe
beyond the fact that the album is not coming out as planned.
