NB, the family tree that you see on the cover is a representation only of the musical members who appear on the record. It skips many, many branches and does not illustrate how we are all related. We would have needed gatefold vinyl to even attempt that. Thank you to all the members of our family past and present.

Hello and welcome to our Family record.

Thanks for coming. Thanks for buying! What we have for you here is an album of new songs by Thompsons written specifically for this project. It started with the idea of each of us recording two tracks and then we added my nephew Zak and my brother Jack each doing one. That got us to ten, which sounded about right.
I named myself producer and Lord of all that surrounds me and went to work adding other instruments and deleting lots of things I didn’t like. There’ s nothing so satisfying as erasing your parents. So to speak.
One of the rules was that every instrument must be played by a family member, so all that you hear is us. Luckily Kami married into a very musical family, so we got some amazing contributions from from them and lots of other extendeds.

We hope you love it and that you work for Pepsi as head of advertising.
Teddy
