from the debut album Narcissus Road, 9th July on A & M RecordsWith a euphoric melody welded to an insistent riff… Ali In The Jungle is already a favourite at live shows, “it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish… it’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re at…it’s the greatest comeback since Lazarus”. Audiences first heard the song in late 2006, when the song was given limited release in advance of the album; the track was Single of the Week for both Jo Whiley and Zane Lowe.
Ali In the Jungle will be released on CD and 7” vinyl, with b-sides (INFO). Narcissus Road was released in February and recently hailed by The Hours friend Damien Hirst as “…fucking genius musically”.Infamous Glastonbury streaker Antony Genn, makes a return to the festival this year, with The Hours set to play 2 gigs, on the John Peel and also the Leftfield stage.
