Shadows was recorded in 2014 at Little Gold Studios in Brunswick with Steve Fraser.  
Mastered by Adam Dempsey at Jack The Bear / Deluxe Mastering.

Shadows

The Immediate are a three-piece power pop band from Mold in north Wales.
We originally split in 1997 due to frustration, an argument over a mouth organ and the success of Stereophonics.

We released one single (unaccountably popular in Sweden), made every conceivable mistake in the How To Be A Successful Indie Band handbook, toured with some excellent bands (Mansun, 60ft Dolls, Dodgy) and flickered out, leaving behind the memory of some great gigs, a few fine songs, and little else.

Earlier this year, we reconvened to repair friendships and renew tinnitus. New songs came much more easily than the old ones, probably because we are playing to please only ourselves for the first time in our existence.

There is more truth and resonance in our songs now than ever before. And power. And invention. We write songs about hope and love in the face of the moribund, daily grind. 

You will possibly hear fragments and echoes of the following artists in our sound (The Jam, Wire, XTC, Pixies, Badfinger, Dr Feelgood, Small Faces, Husker Du, The Who, Ride, Big Star, The Cure, Joy Formidable, The Go-Betweens, Teenage Fanclub), but nothing has been plagiarised or misappropriated to mask a deficiency of our own ideas.

Our new EP, Shadows and Ghosts (available from iTunes / Amazon etc. on Friday 2nd September and on CD from Whipcord Records) smoulders with melodicism, melancholy and power.

Lyrics:

Somebody’s breaking the silence
I hear them callin’ your name
comin’ in cool and inviting
isn’t it always the same

I know I know
the end is here
I saw you burn through
the atmosphere
I only wanted to keep you near

but
go baby
go baby
fly on

go baby
go baby
fly on

hey I hope you find what you want, love
I hope those dreams all come true
with these new horizons between us
Maybe we are what we lose

I know I know
I know the end is here
I saw you burn
through the atmosphere
I only wanted to keep you near

but
go baby
go baby
fly on

go baby
go baby
fly on

right into the night
into another another’s open arms
hey did I
hold you too tightly
another falling star
I saw you shining so bright
then I watched it all go dark
and now I’m losing your light
See it fading from afar
I’ll always where you are

I know I know
I know the end is here
I saw you burn
through the atmosphere
I only wanted to keep you near

but
go baby go baby
fly on
go baby go baby
fly on
