Out of the Murky Depths...

Lots of bands these days stage comebacks - but some are more surprising than others. Yesterday, when catching up with some episodes of the Guardian's Music Weekly podcast, I nearly fell over when I heard that Shelleyan Orphan are back after sixteen years of wandering in the musical wilderness. Remember them? Unless you were a cultish devotee of Star Hits magazine in the 1980s, probably not. I always found them strangely intriguing...but then again, anything labelled as "Pre-Raphaelite pop" is bound to have that sort of effect on me.

Anyway, their new album "We Have Everything We Need" is out next week.
