Spearmint - Chase Me [Vinyl]

Spearmint's eleventh album proper, 'Chase Me', arrives on vinyl with an exclusive 24-page full-color lyric book featuring photos and illustrations. The album delves into themes of success, disillusionment, disconnection, peril, and resurrection, anchored by a narrative of chases across a city at night and out-of-body experiences, culminating in uplifting love songs. Songwriter Shirley describes the story as potentially cinematic, translated here into music.

The vinyl release includes the exclusive track "Is It Just Nostalgia?", a journey through past television and music culture. The single "1986" is also featured, evoking a time when global connections were forged through music rather than technology, with folk scenes in Newcastle and Madrid dancing to the same tunes.

The Band:

• Shirley Lee (singing, guitar)
• Simon Calnan (singing, keyboards)
