"And lo, on the morning of the first day, God did create the heavens and the earth, and he said: 'let there be light' and there was light. And then, on the fifth day he created all the animals and birds and the fishes, and on the sixth day, he created man. And on the seventh day, God sat back and said: 'Fuck this, it's the weekend, let's have a party!' And lo, God did create Brakes, and they were good.
"But Brakes were not content simply with being God's own hard-rocking house band, for they were intelligent theologians themselves, having been spawned from the loins of smart-arsed parents British Sea Power and The Electric Soft Parade. 'We'd like to release 30-second singles and make an electronica-influenced record called 'All Night Disco Party' they cried. 'Woe is us!' And lo, the Lord God was angry, and he cast them out of his pearly indie club, to an unkempt and windswept paradise known as Brighton. And there, they did reform, and create an angry record about their former manager being beaten in a game of chance by the devil. And everyone around them did say 'Crikey, that sounds just like the Pixies!' and God forgave them, for he realised that Brakes were still bloody awesome."
