Welcome back to the world of Squeeze, a world where previous visitors will find much that is both reassuringly familiar and intriguingly different. A new album, 'The Knowledge', offers up another dozen examples of high quality Chris Difford & Glenn Tilbrook song craft, and is the perfect curtain-raiser for a massive UK, US & Australian tour. Two years on from the critically acclaimed Top 20 success of 'Cradle To The Grave' (the band's first set of new songs this century), 'The Knowledge' sees our heroes broaden their musical canvas, as evident on the opening 'Innocence In Paradise' with its pedal steel and cinematic atmosphere evoking images of the mythical western. But don't be wrong-footed by that curveball compass point, because Squeeze are still very much part of the fabric of South London.
