"When I met Matt Jones I knew that The Hepburns had recorded a 20 track album in 2018 that ended up in the freezer.
When I finally heard the whole thing I suggested releasing it asap since it was such a thing of beauty. So, we ended up taken 5 weaker tracks out to make it a very strong album. My vocals were added and the guitar of Andrew Clement as we recently joined the club.
The stunning result is the Only The Hours album: a soundtrack to a bleak 60s spy film with the likes of Barry and Morricone as an inspiration. It’s a wonderful follow up to the Architecture of the Ages, although it is a bit darker." - Stella Rosa (The Hepburns) 2023
