-
A
space
of
wonderment
and
exhilaration,
the
home
of
true
heart
and
a
timeless
soul,
Delays’
‘Faded
Seaside
Glamour’
was
an
atmospheric
and
evocative
debut
album.
Released
in
2004,
the
fragile
strength
of
frontman
Greg
Gilbert’s
vocals
intoxicatedly
intertwined
with
the
forward
looking
synths
of
his
brother
Aaron,
Colin
Fox’s
bass
and
Rowly’s
drumming,
to
create
a
series
of
affecting
songs
that
delivered
an
immediate
pop
hit
that
also
left
a
deep
and
wistful
impact
worthy
of
the
album’s
enticing
title.
Its
iconic
singles,
‘Nearer
Than
Heaven’
and
‘Long
Time
Coming’,
became
immediate
yet
lasting
focal
points
for
Southampton’s
Delays,
while
tracks
including
the
melancholic
‘No
Ending’,
the
smooth
beats
of
‘Stay
Where
You
Are’
and
chiming
opener,
‘Wanderlust’,
demonstrated
the
remarkable
depth
of
this
unique
debut.
Nearly
20
years
have
passed
since
the
release
of
‘Faded
Seaside
Glamour’
and
much
has
changed
-
most
notably
the
loss
of
Greg
Gilbert,
who
passed
away
in
2021
after
a
period
of
treatment
for
cancer
-
but
like
the
idiosyncratic
places
the
album’s
name
celebrated,
Delays’
music
has
not
only
endured
but
their
art
has
been
loved
and
cherished
as
it
has
continually
connected
with
audiences.
To
celebrate
this
soaring
and
smouldering
body
of
work,
Rough
Trade
Records
are
pleased
to
announce
the
release
of
Delays’
‘Faded
Seaside
Glamour’
on
vinyl
for
the
first
time
ever.
Also
available
to
independent
retailers
on
orange
vinyl
with
deluxe
packaging,
a
print
of
Greg’s
art
and
some
words
written
by
Aaron.
