‘We enjoyed adding our light and shade to MGT’s new album with our contributions to the Assembly Line – getting us warmed up for our further adventures this year too!” – Lol Tolhurst and Pearl Thompson

‘So pleased to have collaborated with these legends.. a huge influence on our music.. the moment we heard Lol’s and Pearl’s instrumentation on the song I was amazed how Curesque it sounded! You’ve got 50% of the original and classic Cure lineup right there… sounds brilliant’ – Mark Gemini Thwaite

‘As a long time fan of The Cure it is a true blessing to have Lol and Pearl add their magic to my favourite song on this album. Most grateful indeed!’ – Ashton Nyte
