About Hope Is Important

Hope Is Important is the first full-length studio album by Scottish rock band Idlewild, released 26 October 1998. The record follows on from their earlier six-track release, Captain. It was recorded over a four-week period between February and June, 1997 in Chapel Studios, Lincolnshire. Roddy Woomble said of the title that it was one of those phrases "that can be taken completely literally as some kind of positive statement or it can mean absolutely nothing and it is in-between somewhere. I don't want to be purposefully vague, but it is a vague title." Roddy Woomble told DJ Steve Lamacq in 1997 that they felt that the mini album Captain was their proper first album and that Hope Is Important is their second. "We were a bit scared initially to branch out and write sort of ballad-y songs, not ballad-y songs, but you know what I mean. And we just went for it, really. Bob Fairfoull: "We were just doing what we did best, I think, at the time." Roddy Woomble: "Now we are really trying to change a wee bit, and lyrically, I supposed it is a wee bit depressing, but it's definitely an improvement."
