'The Hungry Saw' is the first album of new material since 2003?s "Waiting For The Moon', The new masterpiece is sure to thrill anyone with a love for the likes of NICK CAVE, LEONARD COHEN and LEE HAZELWOOD, The Hungry Saw is the result of that new found passion, The album was recorded in a studio in deepest France - an ambient space they had craved for a long time, The grand melancholy and gentle humour are still abundantly present, but there?s a renewed energy, an appetite for spontaneity, The album finds the band newly stripped-down to a trio, consisting of the three original members: vocalist Stuart Staples, guitarist Neil Fraser and keyboard player David Boulter, They are assisted by drummer Thomas Belhom, bassist Dan McKinna, and there are glorious contributions from strings arranger Lucy Wilkins (who has played with BETH ORTON, BRYAN FERRY, BLOC PARTY and UNKLE) and brass man, Terry Edwards.
