The album is a sparse, evocative, elegiac, haunting collection of songs written by John Robertson, and recorded with his brother William Robertson. Think Scott Walker singing Joy Division, Arcade Fire remixed by Boards of Canada, the Blue Nile produced by Mogwai. Uncompromising on all levels, When I Was Good is littered with unconventional time signatures, abrasive tonal textures and stark, powerful arrangements with little regard for conventional song structure. Hinderland explores territory shared by Brian Eno and Tortoise, while album closer Shame is a plaintive solo lament on nylon string guitar, reminiscent of Alasdair Roberts. All of the above is threaded together by Robertson’s simple, direct, nakedly confessional lyrics, memorable documents of jealousy and betrayal (“I saw her and I let go of your hand”) and struggle (“How far are those hills? There might be nothing beyond those hills”). When I Was Good is a beautiful, vital piece of work, a piece of art made for its own sake, on its own terms, and deserving of your attention. It’s released on Biphonic on Monday 28 February. A single, I Play The Guitar, is released on Monday 14 February - but you can download it now from Luxury Car’s Bandcamp page for free. become a fan of Luxury Car on Facebook.

It’s a download only release for the moment, but if there’s enough demand we’ll think about putting out a physical release in the new year. The album is available via the Biphonic Records online shop, or direct from Seafieldroad on Bandcamp. For anyone who doesn’t know already, Seafieldroad is the ‘solo’ guise of Andrew from Swimmer One. But it’s been a group effort - the album was produced by Hamish from Swimmer One, while Laura from Swimmer One co-wrote several songs and sang backing vocals. You can read reviews of the album here.
