As cruel winter once again closes in there comes a time to look back on the year, but in the case of the Tiger Lillies it is a longer look, back to the bands first steps in the racy and often heartless world of Soho in the 1980s. The album will be released in January, a week before a major solo concert for the Tiger Lillies at the Roundhouse in London, which forms part of the prestigious venues "In the Round" season for 2017. Significantly, this is also the bands first album not connected to a theatre show in about ten years, thus representing a return to song-writing for the sake of the songs alone. Martyns singing and performance on accordion, piano, organ, guitar, together with lap steel guitar, harmonium and also darbuka, is as ever accompanied by Adrian Stouts bass, musical saw, euphonium, guitar plus backing vocals, with drums by Timothy Remfrey.
