Synopsis
Album Description US only edition features a bonus disc with eight bonus live tracks; Wild Mountainside, Send For Henny - (featuring Eddi Reader), All the Dark Horses, Easy Read, Safecracker, Weightlifting, Hayfever and Earlies. 2009 album from the Scottish Pop maestros. In the five years since we last heard a studio album from Trashcan Sinatras, things have been looking up. After more than two decades in the business the guys behind Cake, I've Seen Everything, A Happy Pocket and 2004's Weightlifting have decided to throw caution to the wind and get happy. The result, In the Music, is a collection of love songs, full of relaxed harmonies, which were set to arrangements in a back room in the South Side of Glasgow over the summer of 2007, and recorded in New York and Marthas Vineyard over a crisp, cold winter in 2008. With highlights including 'Should I Pray' featuring special guest vocals by the iconic Carly Simon, and 'Oranges and Apples', a seven minute long tribute to Syd Barrett. 18 tracks.

CD ReviewsAnother Gem from Trashcan Sinatras Michael Renshaw | Bucks County, PA | 04/29/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Released in the UK and Japan last year, this cd finally makes its debut stateside with 8 career-spanning bonus acoustic tracks recored live. There is a lot to love here. The opener and first single 'People' is a tremendously catchy bit of pop for fans of The Smiths, Crowded House, Coldplay, Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura. Other highlights are 'Prisons' (which doesn't feature Carly Simon as stated in the Amazon track list) 'Should I Pray' (which does), I Wish You'd Met Her' 'Oranges and Apples' (a Syd Barret tribute), and 'The Engine' (perhaps the most beautiful song you'll hear all year). Be sure to catch the band when they tour the States in June. You'll find you have a new favorite band. " Relax with the Trashcans! Frank Lynch | Brooklyn, NY USA | 04/27/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Trashcan Sinatras are back with a CD of new studio material (ten songs) and (in North America) bonus recordings from an acoustic show in the UK. "In The Music" is a great collection of medium tempo songs with interesting, mature lyrics. It's a natural progression from 2004's Weightlifting (that album made several top ten lists that year). You won't find anything as fast as their early 1990's hits "Hayfever" and "Obscurity Knocks," but the music never drags. The lyrics are thoughtful - - and successfully avoid being overly introspective. The arrangements and the recording are polished; the vocalists are in fine form; and I can't think of anything I'd rather be listening to right now. The North American bonus tracks represent a good overview of some of their best songs. I think they'll whet your appetite for more." A gem of an album! Shane Locke | 04/27/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "I can't say enough about In The Music. Already released in the UK and Japan, it's about time this album made it across the pond. It's a beautiful, melancholy treasure of an album and you won't be disappointed listening to it on a summer's day, during a long drive, or over a bottle of wine. It's a masterpiece suitable for any occasion."
