Initially the plan was for 'New Shiny Object' to have been recorded live, with Fujiya & Miyagi stripping back their sound to the bare essentials. Aspects of that stripped back approach remain, with ‘New Shiny Object’ emphasising directness, and the band’s melodic prowess. “I wanted us to write melodies that really touched people,” David explains. “There’s tendencies to pour your guts out on everything, whether that’s musically or verbally. I think music’s better when it’s got a bit of space. We wanted all the parts of each song to connect like the mechanism in a watch.”
It’s a record that can discuss personal loss and fatherhood, often openly emotive while also displaying a wry sense of humour. David Best's lyrics are match fit on this record and full of his vivid, pithy take on the world. A succinct nine tracks, ‘New Shiny Object’ speaks to you in a direct, often moving fashion. “I think, as I get older, I'm more open,” David observes. “I’m trying to let my guard down. When you get to a certain age and you’re trying to express emotions, you need to be a bit braver and say exactly how you feel.”
