Album FAQWhy did the band decide to have 2 separate releases this time around? Here is what Guy had to say when I asked him: "the reason we decided to do an album and a single is that when we were done recording we realized that we had too much material to fit time-wise on a single 12" vinyl album (alot of the songs are fairly long). there are physical limits to the amount of material you can put on a vinyl record without losing sound quality and we didn't want to be forced into putting out a double album with just 13 songs total. thinking about it we realized that it made sense to split the material up so that the album (called "The Argument") would be composed of all brand new compositions, distinct from the single, which is made up of 2 songs that we had written a long time ago but never recorded (like "Furniture") plus a new instrumental "Number 5" which seemed to fit better on there mood-wise. ultimately it aesthetically, sonically and practically made more sense to us. artwise: the graphics on both releases were done in collaboration with Jem Cohen."
2. Isn't Furniture an old song?Yes. It has been played live for years, and it also appears on the Instrument Video. Hello Morning is also an older song.
