Decent Days and Nights
Single Release May 9th
679 Recordings

The Futureheads eponymous debut album has recently gone gold, selling in excess of 100,000 copies in the UK to date. 2005 has proved an exciting year so far for these likely lads from the North East, as they’ve slowly but steadily edged their way further and further towards the top of their rank. A more than successful stint on the NME Awards tour, a full-blown, sell out US tour and a re-release of their LP charting at number 11, were just a few of the highlights.

LP sales were helped along by spots on CD:UK and T4, massive radio support and gushing reviews for their most recent single ‘Hounds Of Love’ – the single subsequently slammed into the charts at

number 8 leaving fans and critics alike wanting more. Thankfully, the follow up is not far behind…

‘Decent Days And Nights’ is The Futureheads at the peak of their powers; a choppy, Clash-y classic whose brazenly hooky guitars and chant-like vocals belie the clever stuff going on just below the surface. As with most Futureheads songs it’s hard to get a true reading on what exactly they’re banging on about, but the tight mesh of syllables, words and occasional animal yelps, sure is an enthralling place to get lost in. Especially, as in this instance, when the words themselves seem precisely to be about losing your bearings in this world.

“ This is a brand new problem / A problem without any clues / If you know the clues / It’s easy to get through / But you look confused / And you don’t know what to do / It’s hard to give an answer / If you haven’t got a clue / If you work it out / Tell me what you find / We can have a few / Decent days and nights.” And so on and so forth; the world as viewed through indecipherable Kafka-esque dream logic, with The Futureheads struggling to figure out how exactly how this life doo-dah is supposed to operate.

Decent Days And Nights’ sports a driving riff powerful enough to loosen the stiffest of rock-necks, along with an irresistible sense of building euphoria.
