RATS IN THE PALM TREES / FORTUNA

There might be rats in the palm trees, but where are Popstrangers' Out on the water. The New Zealand trio recorded this new 7-inch in an old lightship moored on the River Thames in London, where the band moved in April. The recording and mixing with Rory Attwell (Warm Brains, Test Icicles) only took one weekend on the river and produced the roaring, restless Rats In The Palm Trees and its daydream memory B-side, Fortuna.
