It just fits with the RLRL pattern. You can essentially leave your left on the hi hat and have your right free to hit the snare, crashes, go over the ride, round the kit for little fills, etc.

The Chauffeur is a tune, eh? This is probably the last album iā€™d of ever thought of actually listening to but it has some decent stuff on it.

Ha ha, thatā€™s quite something. Coxon joining Duran Duran?! Or maybe heā€™s just doing one track.

Also 3 years?! Even factoring in Covid thatā€™s a hell of a time to be tweaking

Itā€™s not completely abnormal when there are guests (thereā€™s also guest producers on the record - Ronson & Moroder)

But yeah, theyā€™d probably planned a 2020 release but then Covid

Reading the tweet in full it sounds like heā€™s now a band member. Bet Alex James is seething that he wasnā€™t asked.

New single is decent tbf, no great departure but itā€™s got a good chorus.

Avery had this on the other day and it was pretty boring and MOR tbh.
