Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson
supported by 6 fans who also own “Black Birds Of Brittany”
There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit.

Awesome box set where for once the plethora of extras truly add to the body of previously released work as evidenced by the brilliant remixes of On The Shore tucked away on this monumental box.

Swooping, pristine folk-adjacent songs with bright guitars and soothing melodies that quietly entrance.

Hilary Parkin Will Kill You

Hoping the threat in the album title isn't real, because her voice and nostalgic production is such a good listen.

Sonic Youth is one of those bands where you easily run out of superlatives to describe what they created. This could've easily come off as a cynical cash-grab by a band that had broken up 11 years prior to the release of this record, but that's not what this is. Some of my favourite Sonic Youth instrumentals.

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson
supported by 4 fans who also own “Black Birds Of Brittany”
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP.
