"Flashbacks" is the third album from Leeds-based quartet, THE LODGER, following 2008's "Life Is Sweet" and stop-gap EP, "I Think I Need You", released in May last year.
Produced by Richard Formby (WILD BEASTS, SPACEMEN 3), "Flashbacks" features an additional ensemble of seven cohorts and co-conspirators, increasing the quartet's scope further with the use of orchestral instruments and more detailed arrangements. The music brings in strings, horns and layered backing vocals.
THE LODGER began in a Leeds bedsit in 2004 as the solo project of Pontefract-born songwriter, singer and guitarist Ben Siddall, quickly becoming a three, and eventually four-piece band comprising of Siddall, Joe Margetts (bass), Bruce Renshaw (drums), and newest addition, Tim Corbridge (guitar, lap steel).
Following the release of a series of well-received 7" singles on a variety of independent labels such as Angular Records and Dance to the Radio, debut album "Grown-Ups" was unleashed worldwide in June 2007, to a warm reception.
