"Amarillo" was recorded in Amarillo, Texas on 23 October 2010. The song features instrumentals from The Clash band member Mick Jones.

Critical reception

NME gave the single a positive review saying "Amarillo is a slow, yet euphoric song that finds Damon's reverb-laden voice evocatively recalling America's vast great interior. One of the more fully formed songs on the album, you get a vivid portrait of a songwriter from the British Isles getting his mind around one of the world's largest open spaces."[2]

gollark: I do kind of wonder, sometimes, how credit card payment, well, doesn't run into horrible problems constantly.
gollark: Neat.
gollark: Oh, so you're doing software stuff for them and also designing... retail-y hardware a bit?
gollark: Well, I have somewhat working backups, so probably "wipe server, reinstall from USB stick, reload important stuff but probably keep external network access down for a bit".
gollark: I mostly just try and keep software up to date, shove sandboxes on network-facing services, and hope vulnerability-scanning botnets or something don't catch up fast enough.
