At the start of the 21st century dance music was massive and one was more likely to take up DJing than play the guitar. By the mid-00s guitars and bands were back in fashion and taking over the charts.
When this record came out we were starting to move into that new era. For every big name indie band having big hits there were some lesser known indie bands charting in the lower reaches. Delays were one of those bands.
This was their Top 40 debut. It was written by their lead singer Greg Gilbert and was taken from their then upcoming debut album "Faded Seaside Glamour". They did better with the next Top 40 hit "Long Time Coming" which reached number 16 and became their highest charting single.
They had a total of 6 Top 40 hits with just the one making the Top 20 and their final hit coming in 2006. Lead singer Greg Gilbert died in 2021.
