A graceful glaze of an album, compelling and rich. Long out of print on vinyl. “The Lightships album was a combination of two things – Gerard Love, at the time in Teenage Fanclub, had also become a very integral part of The Pastels and I think he understood what we were trying to do with Geographic. Harry Martin at Domino was a massive fan of Gerard’s music and instigated the record. Gerard spent a long time on it trying to find a sound that was different from Teenage Fanclub – he used a well chosen collection of musicians including Tom Crossley from The Pastels and International Airport. I think it’s a glorious record, quite introspective in places but bold and quite timeless too. Everything on it seems to fit in place, it’s very organised, a bit like Gerard.” - SP / Geographic Side A1 Two Lines2 Muddy Rivers3 Sweetness In Her Spark4 Every Blossom5 Silver and Gold Side B1 The Warmth Of The Sun2 Girasol3 Stretching Out4 Photosynthesis5 Sunlight To The Dawn
