about

The first single taken from our forthcoming album, released on Nub Music​ via ADA/Warners. Glorious harmony-stacked acoustic pop!
'Has the listener both bleary eyed and stamping feet with wide grin at one and the same moment' Indie Bands Blog

'The moment the Dylanesque harmonica launches alongside jangly guitar, descending bass and solid drums, the song springs to life and what follows does not disappoint' Fresh On The Net listening post

'Putty' has always been a favourite of Nigel’s and was written with a band in mind way back in 2004, so this was bound to be one of the first to be band-tested in rehearsals. Rob and Darren helped Nigel transform the song from its lo-fi bedroom home-tape vibe to an altogether more power pop arrangement. It’s a true band achievement with glorious harmonies, jangle riffage and a George Harrison inspired slide solo. Mick the sound engineer was even inspired to sing a harmony. Karma.

lyrics

You can read me like a book you can get yourself immersed
You can even take a look at my last page first
Tonight I'm a slave, to your pheremonal glands
I'm putty in your hands

Tie me down or tie me up I won't put up a fight
Give my heartstrings a pluck you can pluck me when you like
To hell with the righteous and blessed are the damned
I'm putty in your hands

You've got me crawling the floor
Got me begging more, begging more

I'm lost in your orbit, so bring me in to land
I'm putty in your hands
