What the label says:

Angular Recording Corporation is proud to present to you ’Grown-Ups’, the debut album from Leeds based three-piece The Lodger.
The Lodger was born in Ben Siddall’s Leeds bedsit flat in 2004. As the new year began, Dance to the Radio issued their debut single by the band ‘Many Thanks For Your Honest Opinion’. A further limited 7" single ‘Watching’ was issued as the year drew to a close.
2006 was where the band got their act together - a permanent line-up of Ben, Joe and Katie was established and the band went out on the road in the UK with kindred Yorkshire spirits The Research in February. London indie label Angular Records released the band’s third single ‘Let Her Go’  shortly afterwards. This single won the BBC 6music’s Rebel Playlist and started to pick up airplay worldwide.
In the summer the band decamped to Alan Smyth’s tiny Sheffield recording studio to record songs for their debut album. 13 tracks were recorded in a week in September and the result is ‘Grown-Ups’. The album was completed
with a track recorded with James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco. This material was road-tested as main support on The Long Blondes tour in Feb 2007.
What the press have said :
- ART ROCKER: "A combination of edgy guitars and the wonderfully light voice of singer Ben, fused together by perky percussion put Kicking Sand head and shoulders above most indie-pop floating around at the moment."
- SOUNDSXP: "They produce gloriously simple but sublime, twisted pop songs."
- MANCHESTER MUSIC: "It’s not just a good song, but it’s also a thoroughly relevant updating of northern indie without any of the hyperbole normally attached via music pressreviews and all the other kinds of haircut flavoured fever. Single of the Week."
- LEEDS GUIDE: "It sounds like a British pop classic."
