Recorded in The Lab, Auckland and mixed in New York with Matt Verta Ray (Heavy Trash), it is an uncharacteris­tically contained and succinct release. Used to the unavoidable sprawl of time and the ramble of his tours, Davidson avoids the technique of collation, curation and compilation that is what we have become used to from him.

Once likened to a rat whose teeth would grow up through its own skull if it didn’t gnaw all day, Delaney’s restless creativity manages here to capitalise on what he calls the “engine room” behind a lot of the bands and albums he has worked on recently. Ben Woolley and Joe McCallum, who make up the drums and bass combo that has formed the core of such albums as Tami Neilson’s Dynamite and The Sad But True Series, feature strong in the limelight here with Davidson as a Trio. Fleshing out the songs and working them as a only a Trio can, this brings a new life and sinuous muscle to Davidson’s pre­sentation of his latest batch:

“It was always us looking at each other in the different projects, stages, albums, and rehearsal rooms, I said to the guys lets make a Band. So we worked together until things blew apart again. “Lucky Guy” was recorded in that period.”

“ Lucky Guy is about a wind change. I wanted to keep the songs short and to the point, more direct and remove some of the decorations I like to work with. The stories are more in the lyrics than in the music. It’s almost the album I should have released first.”
