TITLE ‘Model Village/ Rickety Frame’
RELEASE June 11th 2006

Some Facts :
An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain
The glue on Israeli postage stamps is certified kosher
The Loft have re-formed!

It's June 1985 and the Loft finally call it a day. Not so much call it a day, but implode. Leaving that nagging feeling that things could have been so much more. Now, like a love for a northern soul seven inch, or Danny Kelly’s bootleg cassette tape of that night at the Hammersmith Palais they have delivered two ‘safe’ tracks to the Static Caravan, making the Static family as happy as a talc’ed up soul brother about to be spiked for another all-nighter opposite the ABC in Wigan.
Yes, the "seminally seminal" guitar slingers from the dawn of Creation Records whose measly two singles have since become something of the holy grail for those who like their ’80s pop equal parts bubbling melancholia, Byrdsian jangle and anthemic flag-waving are back.
A band who not just bothered but topped the NME charts with “Why Does The Rain” and “Up The Hill And Down The Slope” when you actually had to sell records to do so. A band who played a host of radio one sessions and the long forgotten Oxford Road Show. A band who can claim as fans James Dean Bradfield, Alan McGee, Janice Long, Steve Lamacq and Dave Gedge. A band who achieved all this in the length of time now set aside for the advertising campaign on a new James Blunt album. In the interim years members have continued to contribute to the musical climate as members of The Weather Prophets, The Rockingbirds, The Wishing Stones, Wisdom of Harry, Ellis Island Sound. For fans of Television, Richard Hell, The Pop Group and days when charts were dominated by The Cocteau Twins, The March Violets, The Triffids and 23 Skidoo.
It could only be a two track seven inch in a limited edition of 400 copies.
