get back home is the first single release from andy white's new album teenage.

in the two and a half years since andy's last solo release andy relocated to dublin, got married, and released an album with liam o maonlai and tim finn under the collective name of alt. the threesome spent 1995 touring and are now engaged in their own individual projects.

the video that accompanies the single was directed in belfast by novelist robert mcliam wilson. in the style of a grainy black and white childhood photo, it stars andy's three year old son sebastian. a friend had filmed andy's wedding on super 8 and this also pops up. have a look here.

get back home was produced by the legendary american with an irish grandmother, kim fowley. he has produced everyone from the byrds and the beach boys to kiss. his is the voice who introduces the plastic ono band on 'live peace in toronto', and his biog is longer than the bible. kim recently phoned andy from a swamp in louisiana, delighted with the fact that the romanian women's gymnastic team won a bronze medal at the olympics performing to one of his songs (the infamous 'nutrocker').

musicians on the single include rod mcvey, andy's long time collaborator, and thomas walsh, whom kim discovered hiding in a back issue of hot press. the cd single also includes some of the things I can bring, an instrumental version of 'all of the things I can bring' from the new album, and cinnamon sofa. both of these songs are unavailable elsewhere.

the three songs were mixed by ingmar kiang and pat donne along with andy in sun studios, temple bar, dublin.
