Formation
Faced with some loose ideas of the band for the new album, Steve Hogarth recalled a radio report about a girl who was apparently disoriented taken up at the Severn Bridge. The girl did not speak, the authorities appealed to the public to clarify their identity. Hogarth: "I heard that and thought this would be a great first page of a mystery story. " On this basis, the band developed a story about the life of this girl and moved to France in Miles Copeland's Chateau Marouatte in the Dordogne.
