Postcards featuring the album title and apparent release date were mailed out to fans in the U.K.
It was tentatively titledLive From the Moon, drawing inspiration from the musicians memories around the moon landing.
In a funny way, I was trying to achieve nostalgia for a world that never happened.
And I think thats still what I want the world to be, Smith said.
Thats why Im struggling a little bit with the lyrics.
Musically, I think weve done it.
Its just lyrically, I need to ensure that its working.
The musician added, We seem to keep rewriting songs.
I dont think Ive quite nailed some of them.
Ive sung most of it, but I think it has to be the best thing.
I cant do the whole, Thatll do.
