The cover image is the one that they're showing at Amazon. It's nice enough. It looks like a Belle & Sebastian record, only orange. There's a similar picture on the back, and a back and white picture of the waitress inside. She's apparently someone called "Shantha Roberts". I don't know who she is or who she plays for, though. I guess there's no reason why I should.
Since I'm nursing a developing obsession with said miserable-looking waitress, I went a-googling. The only Shantha Roberts I can find appears to play for the Aberdeen City Youth Wind Quintet. Possible I guess. There is a lot of wind on the new record (and I mean that in a nice way, of course).
STAY LOOSE This one's certainly a bit Bowie, as has been said already, but I reckon it's at least as much Split Enz. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing - just a bit out of character, somehow.
Not sure - I get 'Joe Jackson' when I hear it, for some inexplicable reason.
