Following on from our exclusive album stream yesterday, The Lion and the Wolf’s Thomas George talks us through his new album The Cardiac Hotel track by track.
Don’t Fail Me Now: DFMN, to me felt like the perfect opener for the record. The organ was recorded in the church next to my house (the same church where we recorded the organ for Ghosts on Trinity from the first record). I remember writing this song half way through a three week DIY run in Feb 2015 after setting up and waiting for people to arrive. I was stood on stage, on my own, underneath a harsh light and started humming / playing the chords. At that point I knew it was going to open the new album.
