about

The new album by Laurie "The King Of The Record" Shaw.

The record is quite large and quite dense and features a number of songs one might bung into the "singer-songwriter" camp. Which is sometimes a bit of a mank camp. But hopefully the songs on display ooze with enough weird instrumentation and strange, time-displaced melodies.

The record is made of brass and it smells like it too. It is a greasy record and it is pre-environmental awareness. Horns (or are they effected Kazoos?) honk and wonk as our narrator reads from secret government dossiers concerning the history of popular music (like when they pumped Hormone X into the water to kickstart the teen market FACT). It wheezes and it clunks and it sometimes skates out of sync with itself, out of time with everybody else, out of rhythm with the space it occupies.
