 ... “Time and distance are out of place here…” is a line from the album’s opening track, ‘Feeling Gravity’s Pull’, and that sense of displacement is present throughout. Songs like ‘Maps And Legends’ and ‘Old Man Kensey’ tell stories of strange old hermits and mythic lands, whilst ‘Driver 8’ and ‘Green Grow The Rushes’ seem set in Enid Blyton fairytales.
