What their label says...

In 2006 the fomer Hefner songwriter returned to songwriting after an enforced absence. Moving away from the electronic direction of his previous releases Darren moved back towards the Indie/folk sound he initially became known for. Whilst dealing with a protracted legal dispute Darren spent the previous two years working for the Peoples Dispensary for Sick Animals, Battersea Dogs Home, getting married, forming a bluegrass band, putting on a lot of weight and studying an Art PGCE at Goldsmiths College. “If I don’t work I go nuts, I wasted 6 months becoming addicted to internet chess.” says Hayman. This album wnas his best so far until the next one. “Every time a write a song its better then the last one”, continues Hayman, “I thought it was that way for everyone?” The songs on Hayman’s debut album; Table for One concern crumbling cafes, dog charities, a broken hearted Doug Yule, retiring School teachers and air hostesses plummeting to their death. It’s not fun in Darren’s head but it IS fun to watch and listen from a distance.
