‘Phone Me If You’re Bored’ out on Interbang Records on the 6th of December sees Aidan’s best and most mature work yet. Backed by His Indulgent Friends he has crafted a pop album of epic dynamic range.
The songs on this album are culled from over forty recordings made recently with and without the band and feature songs from diverse narrative points of view. A princess elopes with a song-writer, a murdered ghost haunts his former lover, a Gambler reviews his life and marriage. All the while Smith celebrates the beauty of the imagination and the poetry in the apparently mundane.
This recent concentration coincides with Smith’s decision to pay for a haircut for the first time in eleven years. Coincidence? One doesn’t think so…
