Beautifully crafted it is a collaboration that works and the album was rightly nominated for a Mercury award. Kenny says that Bubble is an old song of his that originally appeared on an album released through his own Fence label in 2001 and Jon made the backing track in 2006. Jon by the way is a graduate of the London Royal College of music and has recently worked with Brian Eno and also contributed keyboard and sound effects to Coldplay's latest album, but I wouldn't let that last piece of information put you off.
Dreamy with beautiful harmonies, an accordion, the piano part recorded through a simulation of an old gramophone speaker and even a spinning bicycle wheel, it is a very evocative song. It is, they say, the "soundtrack to a romanticized version of a life lived in a Scottish coastal village."
