It's emerged that the release of The Fratellis' second album was delayed because the chap who was supposed to be mixing their new LP wasn't able to take on the project. The record, originally supposed to be out around now, is now expected to be released in June.
Frontman Jon explains: "The guy cried off the day before he was due to start. I was devastated. You just want to give up. He hadn't finished the Coldplay album but, as much as I like them, I thought that was a rubbish reason".
He adds that something good came of it though - whilst waiting for a replacement technician, another song for the album got written. The singer says: "I wrote 'Straggler's Moon' a week before the new guy who mixed the record came in".
