Such projects do, however, throw up a conundrum: can the essence of that recording – all of the uniquely charming ingredients that comprise a debut album, from naivety to enthusiasm to rawness – really be recaptured, a whole decade on? In this case, the answer is yes – mostly.

Speaking in December 2011, Sabre explained his reasons for titling the album 'Lonely Are The Brave': "'Lonely Are The Brave' was actually the title of an old movie that I first heard about when I was really young - around 12 or 13 - and I actually thought the feeling captured in that one phrase was amazing, because I feel everybody at some point in their lives needs to be brave to get through loneliness. And, because I thought it also summed up a lotta the emotion behind this album - particularly in terms of where I was at when I was writing a lotta the songs - I just felt as a title it fitted the project really well."
