March 8, 2009 – 11:07 pm

Pocketbooks have their début LP, ‘Flight Paths’ available for advance order at the moment from How Does It Feel To Be Loved? The official release date is set to be in June, but the label is posting out advance CD copies now. The band have made one song available as advance download - ‘Fleeting Moments’ is free to download from: http://www.box.net/shared/7sxzjar66h

I will doing a full review of the LP in a few weeks - but after the first few listens - I am happy to report the band have delivered a wonderful pop record.  It sparkles and shines and makes me want to dance.

From their press release:

The album was recorded over five days at Soup Studio, which is located under a wonderful ukulele shop near Brick Lane in London. It was recorded by Simon Trought, who has also recorded albums by The Wave Pictures, Darren Hayman and loads of other bands that we love. We’re really pleased the album is coming out in the spring, as it feels like a springtime album. As you can imagine, we were really excited to be recording these songs in the studio, and we hope this comes across on the record.

We picked mostly new songs for the album, some of which you might recognise from our last few gigs. There’s also a couple of our favourites which stretch back to when we first started out as a band. The full track listing is:

1. Footsteps
2. Fleeting Moments
3. Camera Angles
4. The Outskirts Of Town
5. Cross The Line
6. Skating On Thin Ice
7. Sweetness And Light
8. I’m Not Going Out
9. Every Good Time We Ever Had
10. Paper Aeroplanes
11. All We Do Is Rush Around

We had a fantastic time recording it, and we’re really looking forward to playing these songs at gigs over the next few months. We really hope you enjoy the album and the free download!
