This, the debut album from The Birthday Suit opens with 'Do You Ever?', a track with plenty of clout, slipping cleanly and effortlessly into 'Hope Me Home', a jaunty, cheerful number, with bright and bubbly harmonies.

Whilst Idlewild have been on hiatus, guitarist / songwriter Rod Jones has been busy with his solo project The Birthday Suit . Their debut album, The Eleventh Hour , came out just last week. The album is a return to the noisy pop moments that originally established him so firmly in the UK music scene. Tracks like Do You Ever? and On My Own hark back to the 100 Broken Windows -esque sounds that made Idlewild one of our best indie exports. However, it's the more introspective [...]

The Birthday Suit From: Edinburgh, Scotland While Roddy Woomble focuses on disappearing up his own backside his Idlewild comrade in arms Rod Jones is revisiting the noisy indie pop that made the Scottish noiseniks such a formidable band.
