Ashley, Corin
New Lion Terraces
Recorded at Abbey Road in London and Q Division in Boston on analog tape, the album features contributions by Kay Hanley from Letters To Cleo, Ken Stringfellow of the Posies/Big Star, Dave Mattacks (drummer for Fairport Convention, XTC, Paul McCartney, etc.) Boo Radleys Martin Carr, Ed Ball of TV Personalities and Richard Davies from Cardinal. The album has elements of psychedelia, power pop and whatever the hell you call "Ram" by Paul McCartney. The name "Supertramp" was invoked while recording as theres a lot of wurli, but youll also hear mellotron, harpsichord, strings, bowed saw, glockenspiel, tuba, Hofner bass and clarinet.
