"The title is an actual road sign, right near the Canadian border outside Detroit. We'd taken a wrong turning in the van. It's quite a striking sign to be confronted with. It has no Trekkie connotations at all: it's very much of this earth. The music was written by Cian and Bunf on samplers late at night, and the rest of us played or sung over it. I think its one of the best sounding pieces on the album. It's a song about impending deluge - it could be applied to global warming." -Gruff Rhys

From Detroit. Thanks

[@brounwynsmith848]

What a story:)

[@ronjordan986]

Thanks for the added layer of understanding, but just completed a drive from the US, there is also a Vulcan Street in Buffalo. Could Gruff have mixed up his border cities?

[@UncleGwendolyn]

I'd love to see a street sign. Only so i knew I could then book a holiday and tax it

[@guilhemd7927]

I read a critic saying this guys were what Beatles would sound like if they were still together. I usually hate rock critics, but i have to acknowledge this guy had a point

[@darrellkramer8097]

Nope.

[@UncleGwendolyn]

I read a critic.

[@abreufortaleza]

Greatest underground band ever

[@Starling_04]

Yep I agree!

[@jemimallah2591]

this album came out on sony. i love sfa but they can hardly be called underground

[@PrinceZappa]

Best band in last couple of decades.

[@Ungracefulmovement]

best underground, overground (wombling free) band ever?

[@G-MAN_]

Underground??? Sometimes, I ponder, are these as good as the Beatles...maybe

[@rallokkcaz]

How are there only 16 comments on this? Why is this record left unknown, especially in America? SFA changed my life.

[@abenaz]

cuz they suck except for ''juxtaposed with u'' which is a masterpiece,they r physically incapable of makin somethin worhwhile or at least good

[@harribo2005x]

They don’t suck! All their songs are masterpieces!

[@stuartdarkin]

Been listening to you guys since I was like 8, such an underrated band!

[@louisestinchcombe6223]

Original, tuneful and uplifting - what more could you want from a band!!!

[@RustinChole]

I never would’ve heard of these guys if I hadn’t dated a girl from Dublin. And I toured the world in a band. This record and MWNG especially are amazing - Guerrilla and specifically the b side Ms Spector really got me.

[@raginhomosapien]

This is a beautiful song

[@mar15115]

Nice

[@DmytroShkurko]

I always adored this song. However the chorus sounds a lot like "Oh my love" by John Lennon 😉

[@roiybenkel682]

Sometimes I ponder What if the Caspian sea Should merger Over my shoulder With Irish lakes And Seoul suburbia Abandon ship Lift me up High aloft to peace I didn't know That you would take it To heart I didn't know That is would break us Apart this way Too much Too soon Good bye Yeah! yeah!
