Girls - Solitude
Have we got any Roy Orbison in the RCRD LBL vaults to link through to? No? I didn’t even check truth be told.

A song so tender you feel the physical version of it would bruise...

But at Mercury lounge they are really good. Like "Whoa what happened" good. Credit new drummer (all loosey-goosey Keith Moon fills...
