Tales Don't Tell Themselves

Tales Don't Tell Themselves is the third album by Welsh rock band Funeral for a Friend. It charted at #3 in the UK selling 25,000 copies in its first week and later went gold. It was released on 14 May 2007 on the Atlantic label. Before the release of the album, the band released several short studio update videos informing fans of their progress. During the recording of the album, Matt Davies used the same microphone he used to record the group's first album Casually Dressed and Deep in Conversation and Ryan Richards recorded his drum parts by recording cymbals separately from the rest of his drum parts and replacing the normal cymbals with electric ones whilst recording basic drums. Davies plays guitar on several of the songs; this is the first album in which he has done so.
