Draw the Line, David Gray's eighth studio album, arrived on 14 September 2009 in Europe and eight days later in the United States, and it's the sound of the White Ladder man stretching his legs after a greatest-hits pause. The introspection is still there, but the arrangements have more muscle and the songs more urgency.

"Fugitive" went out first, a week before the album, and it's the brightest thing here, a driving, restless number with a chorus built for open windows. The second single raised the stakes on the guest list: "Full Steam", a duet with Annie Lennox, released on 28 December 2009, their two voices circling each other like sparring partners. Foundling came next.
