You may have thought that we've been a little quiet of late - and, well, you'd be right…

It is with deep regret that we have to announce the demise of Luxembourg. This, literally is it. We could go into microscopically honest detail, but in effect it all comes down to that old favourite, musical differences. If it makes you feel better though, blame Boris Johnson.

Anyway, we couldn’t go without saying a huge thank you to all of you for your support over the years. We couldn’t have done it without you. To show our appreciation, and also because it’d be a terrible shame if it just ended up on the laminate floor of our lives, we’ve uploaded the interrupted-work-in-progress that represents our second studio album to the Interweb here: www.last.fm

A couple of tracks are finished, but most are demos of varying sheen and precision. Here’s the tracklisting:

  • “I’m A Phantom”
  • “Last Lap” (demo)
  • “Radio” (demo)
  • “Kick Me”
  • “Art Is No Defence” (rough demo)
  • “Steady Pressure” (demo)
  • “Not Quite Right / Not Quite Not Right”
  • “Broadstairs” (rough mix)
  • “Crowd Scene” (demo)
  • “The Beast In The Jungle” (demo)
  • “When You Went Away” (demo)
  • “London Is Blue” (demo)
  • “How I Love You” (demo)

To round off a career very much characterized by titular concision, we’ve called the album Last Holiday Before Divorce: Deleted Scenes From An Unfinished Sequel. We hope you like it.

Alternatively, or in addition, if you really crave physical product, and fancy supporting a good cause, “Kick Me” also features on charity compilation Doing It For The Kids ’08, along with a whole host of people, some of whom – Ballboy, Ed Harcourt, The Orchids, oh, and The New Royal Family – you may have heard of. Full details at www.diftk08.org.uk

A final word - don’t for one second think that these are the last musical efforts of the five of us. It’s highly likely you’ll be hearing from us separately in the not-so-distant future, as we pursue our own distinctive furrows.

You’ve been a wonderful audience. Thank you and goodnight.
