Delays singer Greg Gilbert has told the NME how he was inspired by Michael Jackson - though we're talking inspired in musical process here, he's not inviting the kids of Southampton round to play on a fun fair in his back garden.
Gilbert: "I was inspired by the fact Michael Jackson had 300 songs for 'Thriller' and two weeks before mastering it, he still thought it was two songs short. I mean there are only about nine songs on the album. All the people we really, really admire like Prince don't have a long gap between their albums. That is why we are bringing it out so soon after the first album. I wouldn't want that pressure of really dwelling on a new album. I spend a lot of time thinking about stuff and it would really do my head in if I thought about it too much."
Current single 'Lost In A Melody' is the first release of that second album.
