The Listening Club - 10th February 2019

Greetings folks,

Hope all is well and good for you all. Grim outside here as per bloody usual, tho we're still buzzing from a fine Snapped Ankles show on Thursday kicking off their european tour, and a lovely bunch they seem to be too.

Last week in #LC environs, it was me, @kleptones, in the chair, assaulting your eardrums with Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs latest opus, "King Of Cowards", which quite a few of you seemed to tolerate positively, which is nice. All that remained for me was to sail the frisb across to @xpollen8, who has this to say by way of introduction to tonight's pick...

"This week's artist has released one proper album (recorded in a church), a CDR 10 years later, and after a 15 year break, new material shared on soundcloud last year (recorded by the same guy as did the debut).

I was originally just going to share the CDR, but it only clocks in at 30 minutes, so what you'll hear is a DIY career-spanning maxi-EP: 2 tracks from the debut (I did promise bassoon), followed by the full CDR, and one recent piece at the end.

Mostly in German, the lyrics are lost on me, but the simple melodies and interesting instrumentation always brighten my day."

Okaydoke. Direct download is here, and the HearThis stream is below:


See you at 8pm GMT tonight!
