AI 23 - Some Fantastic Place

On deck for this week's episode, Squeeze's 1993 album, Some Fantastic Place. Back on A&M records, with their first album since Chris Difford  bugged out and got sober, the band sounds vibrant, reinvigorated--hopeful even. SFP features some of their best songs, including Third Rail, the title track, It's Over, Jolly Comes Home, and the album closer, Pinocchio. The album also sees the increasingly prevalent lineup changes with the departure of Gilson Lavis from the drum chair, to be replaced by The Attractions' Pete Thomas, and the return of Paul Carrack on keys. Doug Bale is back in the co-host seat and enjoying Carrack's presence on the album.

As always, I want to stress the importance of supporting the artists that are featured on this series, whether that’s through buying their music and merch, attending one of their concerts, or even simply following them on social media. Squeeze is indeed very active, recording and touring both as a band, and Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford with their respective solo endeavors--see them in whatever capacity you're able. Additionally, keep up to date on all their latest doings at http://www.squeezeofficial.com/ and through their social media (@squeezeogram on, appropriately, Instagram and @squeezeofficial on Twitter).
