An instant classic, it is the second taste of the album, following last month’s ‘Glass Shattered’, which saw support from DIY, The New Cue, So Young and The Line of Best Fit, to name a few. Speaking about the single, frontman Jack Ogborne says\"Town of Origin was written in half an hour, music and lyrics. Usually it takes me months to finalize a song but this one was easy and enjoyable to put together. I was listening to The Wedding Present a lot at the time which I think comes across, both in the music and the lyrics.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cindys began as an exercise in simplicity. Lead songwriter Jack Ogborne had spent years making challenging, uncompromising music as Bingo Fury, earning praise from The Guardian, The Quietus and DIY alongside regular support from BBC 6 Music. But as the impulse to keep pushing further into experimentation began to lose its pull, he returned to an old love of 80s indie, from C86 and Flying Nun to Sarah Records, and the directness of straightforward hooks and melodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRooted in the DIY mythology of 80s indie, ‘Love Century’ takes its cues from a particular kind of record: the major label debut. From R.E.M.’s ‘Murmur’ to The Replacements’ ‘Tim’, albums that held pop sensibility and tape aesthetic in near perfect tension. For The Cindys, the idea was to make a “major label debut, without the major label”. What emerged is something much more than a love letter to the period: nine tracks that filter bright hooks, close harmonies and immediacy through an endless vault of indie myths and fables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacked by Breakfast Records, the band headed to Rockfield Studios and started to record a set of songs road-tested throughout 2025, including on support tours with Shame and Getdown Services. Recording straight to tape with long-time collaborator and co-producer Joe Jones (Teenage Fanclub, Aldous Harding, The Cure), they sought to retain the energy of those shows while bringing their increasingly intricate melodies and harmonies to the fore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen The Cindys formed, Ogborne spoke simply about wanting to be in a band: to travel, play shows and experience something he felt he had missed in the more arcane world of Bingo Fury. ‘Love Century’ is that idea realised — a record about the enduring thrill of melody, friendship and rock and roll, and the transformative power of stripping everything back to find the signal in the noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cindys are:\u003cbr\u003eJack Ogborne: Vocals, Guitar, Tambourine, Keys\u003cbr\u003eNaima Bock: Vocals, Guitar\u003cbr\u003eFinlay Burrows: Vocals, Guitar\u003cbr\u003eIsaac Green: Bass\u003cbr\u003eEwan Ferguson: Drums\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breakfast Records","offers":[{"title":"Transparent Glass\/Clear LP","offer_id":58565415469400,"sku":"TKM-45208","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-Panel Gatefold CD","offer_id":58565415502168,"sku":"TKM-45209","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4266\/0184\/files\/STA_20260923_1131_103254_961_p_b31b7e4b-ecf9-72ee-a925-184aee53c2cf_3_001.jpg?v=1790337033","url":"https:\/\/truckmusic.store\/products\/the-cindys-love-century","provider":"Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
