After touring in support of Escape from Rubbish Island (2004), their fifth studio album, frontman Miles Hunt moved to Shropshire and began writing new songs. Bookending a tour of the United States in April and May 2005, the band recorded songs at Doghaus in New York City and Vada in Stratford-upon-Avon. Hunt missed hearing the sound of a violin, and Erica Nockalls was drafted to add the instrument to several of the album's songs. Preceded by a four-show tour of the United Kingdom in August and a solo tour by Hunt at the end of 2005, "Blah Blah, Lah Di Dah" was released as the album's lead single on 30 January 2006. Suspended by Stars was promoted with a UK tour in March 2006; in May and June of that year, Hunt played a series of solo shows. "The Sun Goes Down on Manor Road" was released as a single on 12 June 2006, followed by several UK festival appearances. The third and final single, "Last Second of the Minute" (released on 23 October 2006), coincided with a UK tour by Hunt and Nockalls that month. The album received favorable reviews from music critics, some of whom praised the songwriting. (en) |
