'Rich Inner Life' is the sound of a band who have both picked up from where they left off some two decades or so ago, but who have also injected all that extra experience, insight and pain into their music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome might think that returning with a new album after two decades would be daunting, that the band would be feeling the pressure, but these songs show that nothing could be further from the truth. Rather, it's the sound of a band at their most pure, their most creative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"There was a real joy to doing this,\" says Powell, \"because we were doing it all ourselves. There was no pressure, we just decided to start making the album, and we knew that it would be finished when it was finished.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"We wanted to enjoy the experience of making a record ,\" adds Moulster, \" and really explore what we wanted to do with it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn some ways, in fact, the band say that it felt almost like making a first album again. Well, almost.... \"The only thing,\" says Yorke, \"that would have made it feel more like the first album experience would have been if we'd still been living together in a single house. But our attitude was almost the same: Let's just do this because it's fun to do it and see what happens, rather than make an album because the industry says we've got to make an album.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unbelievable Truth\/Autonomy","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":53169986175307,"sku":"R8117-1027","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":53169986208075,"sku":"R8117-7858","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5060148576053.jpg?v=1755077659"},{"product_id":"almost-here","title":"Almost Here","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlmost Here\u003c\/em\u003e is the striking debut from Oxford trio Unbelievable Truth, released in 1998 on Virgin Records - this re-issue faithfully replicates the original UK pressing with its partially exposed inner sleeve, and is pressed on 180g vinyl - Also available is a deluxe re-issue that adds an extra LP of B- Sides and is packaged in a bespoke gatefold sleeve, also pressed on 180g vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormed by vocalist and guitarist Andy Yorke, bassist Jason Moulster and drummer Nigel Powell, the band crafted an album that stood apart from the late-Britpop rush with a sound that was intimate, melodic and emotionally direct.
