Gilbert's
new album, Gilbertville
was released by Hypertension Music [HYP11275]
in Europe on
the 31st
January 2011 and by Victor [VIVP-70175]
in Japan on the 2nd February 2011. The idea
for the title was prompted by a photograph that was taken in Iowa by
Gilbert's brother Terry. Apparently the photograph shows a
road sign that points to a town called Raymond, which is Gilbert's real name,
and also points to another town called Gilbertville.
The
album will feature 14 new tracks including the new single, All They Wanted To
Say, with an interlude halfway through which will
feature UK comedian Harry Hill reciting a short poem of Gilbert's. Harry
previously appeared in the promotional video for Two's Company (Three Is
Allowed). The 14 tracks are made up of 13 new tracks that were
recorded in Nashville and in London and a hidden bonus track called School
Meals that was recorded during the A Scruff At Heart sessions
but has been remixed with drums being added to the track.
