Review
The album was written largely over the course of 2003, which saw the dissolution of the old D.C. line up, the birth of Neil's first child, extensive US touring & a move from London to Dublin. These events all contributed to the general subject matter of the album & its title 'Absent Friends.' Neil says: 'Most of the songs employ stories & characters as a framework within which are discussed the loose themes of coming, going & not quite being where you want to be'. The album was produced & largely performed by Neil Hannon, recorded by Guy Massey & mixed by Nigel Godrich. Longstanding collaborator Joby Talbot contributed the orchestral arrangements. XFM DJ/indie rock goddess Lauren Laverne & French multi-instrumentalist/'Amelie' composer Yann Tiersen both guest on the album. 11 tracks. Copy Controlled. EMI. 2004.This Beautifully Reflective Album, Packed by Fantastic Orchestration, Shows a Real Return to Form for Neil Hannon.
