Also the man behind Norman Records told me to tell you the Adrian
Crowley CD is back in. Again he was a human I've never heard of but
he played me his new album on Ba Da Bing/ Bed of Rockets and once he'd picked me
up off the floor I gave him a kiss and ran off with it. I havn't seen
him since. It's a gorgeous singer songwriter album recorded by Steven
Albino (of Big Black and Tindersticks fame). Phil got
in touch with the nice Crowley man (apparently not related to witchy
sinsiter pop demon Alesteir Crowley a pop insider told me) and
he sent over some of is older releases including a 10" (numbered
of 200 copies by pen wielding dwarves) and his first album on CD. Also
he managed to twist Mr Crowley's arm into releasing a Whiskey
single later on this year. Crikey that's a lot on info in one paragraph.
I wish I'd bought my specs....... When You Are Here You Are Family is CD only
5 ...according to our Phil on 16 January 2007.
I got sent a promo of this some time
ago and it's really stuck in my head. The new Adrian Crowley CD
on Ba Da Bing. Produced by Steve Albini and it's really
beautiful singer songwriter stuff but with lush strings and Albini type
big drums. The chaps voices gets right under your skin and makes you feel
all warm and lovely. When You Are Here You Are family is quite melancholic as well but if you can cope with
a bit of misery in your music this is dead on.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
