And now they have confirmed the follow-up will be called ’Oceans Apart’ and is out on April 25. The record was recorded in London in late 2004.

The tracklisting is:


’Here Comes A City’
’Finding You’
’Born To A Family’
’No Reason To Cry’
’Boundary Rider’
’Darlinghurst Nights’
’Lavender’
’Statue’
’This Night’s For You’
’Mountains Near Delray’

There will also be a special edition of the album available featuring a bonus disc containing the following live tracks, recorded live at the Barbican Theatre in London in June 2004.
