exclusive : bronze age fox album tracklisting

for a while back there, the 3 bronze age fox shaped singles were on constant rotation, well ok, not the actual singles as the pressings were of a dreadful quality according to dave of the band, i was lucky. i got the review promo of the tracks.
needless to say, when i heard that the band were being given the chance to record an album, with some aid from a loved up record label, i was happy as can be.
several band members packed in their dayjobs (thus preventing me from bumping into them during my lunch hour .. oh lucky them), and off they went to seek their fame and fortune.
the resultant album was recorded ages ago, but has yet to see the light of day due to a shift in the market, a change in colour, logo aint quite right, make up your own excuse.
subsequently, my patience wore thin. so a few unsubtle nudges later i have been given the chance to hear the results.
here's the tracklist
album title : impossible !
impossible !/denizens of the deep/hidden track/carry me/beers/cloths/touché/pinstripe/you wouldn't want me to lie/late at night, late at night/how to fall in love.
now, i have only heard the album once properly, and as before i know that it takes a few listens for the combination of doms alter boy vocals and the twisted pop music (with all the unusual tweaking amongst the straightforward song structures) to completely become understood i will be holding off before i reveal my thoughts, but 'you wouldn't want me to lie' is a classic, but, be safe in the knowledge that if you liked the singles then the album is going to become an object of obsession.
lets just hope it gets on the release schedule in 2006.
