John Callaghan is some kind of long standing Sheffield goon who's been banging around for years now making crazy sounds and never really releasing them. He's released a handful of releases of the 17 years or so he's been doing this sort of lunacy. Musically it's a kind of weird skewed electronic pop which is underpinned by the guys genuine eccentricity which runs through the music. Ant has said he can hear bits of Heaven 17 and Severed Heads in there. That's a good start I reckon though he also doesn't really sound like anyone else. You're either gonna love this or hate it. After 2-3 listens you start to realize the guys a genius. On the excellent Uncharted Audio label. You won't hear anything else as honest sounding this year... 'It Might never Happen' is CD only.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Ten years after his first single appeared on the legendary Warp Records, John Callaghan’s long-awaited debut album is released by Uncharted Audio. Describing himself as an “unusual songwriter/performer of thoughtful & spiky electronica from Birmingham”, he created a stir with “I'm Not Comfortable Inside My Mind” & “You've Got Your Memories, I've Got My Dreams” – two super-collectable vinyl-only releases on Warp. His remarkable live show has graced many a stage across a variety of Europe's more open-minded venues. The album's themes include the human body, our relationship with it & with our clothing – not surprising since he counts nude modelling among his professions. John describes the album as “my own soundtrack for my life” – the tracks span a period from 1994-2007. Musically it’s unlike anything else: a riff played on a fork is pitch-shifted into a gorgeous melody, a buzzing fly is transformed into a throbbing bassline & all manner of vocal chopping & tomfoolery provide the perfect foil. Presented with a striking 8-page colour booklet including all the lyrics. Uncharted Audio are delighted to bring this remarkable album to the public at long last…
