"I'm absolutely thrilled to infinitesimal bits with the album," Hannon purrs. "I haven’t been this excited about a record since Casanova and I can't wait for you chaps to hear it. If you don't like it I'll probably cry! We're going to do lots of groovy shows and maybe even make some half-decent videos for a change."
