Aaron Gilbert is showing me the new vinyl reissue of his band’s 2004 debut album, Faded Seaside Glamour, when he is suddenly stopped in his tracks. Inside the package is a photograph comprising all four Delays members: the keyboardist is in one corner alongside bassist Colin Fox, drummer Rowly and Aaron’s older brother Greg, the band’s boyish lead singer and guitarist.

“Fucking hell,” he says. “Your whole life ahead of you … kids.”
