Data Insight

Two of the fourteen tracks were written by other people entirely: the orchestral intro is Wil Malone's and one interlude belongs to Butch Bonner and Lorna Hamilton. Of the twelve that are theirs, only five have no third writer. It is the first album where they hand a track over completely.

Crazy Itch Radio came out on XL in September 2006 and is certified silver by the BPI. It is built as a radio broadcast, with an orchestral intro and a run of short interludes between the songs.
