The A Lords - The A Lords

A pastoral stroll through Dorset, anyone? if so why not take the A-Lords on a jaunt with you and relax in their highly soothing company. It's an album that has been recorded over 10 long, hot summers (well, if you live in England replace long, hot with occasionally nice but pissy most of the time..) from the year 2000 to 2010, five songs by day, five songs by night. It's a wondrous record is this. It's gently strummed, emotionally moving stuff. I thought I was gonna start weeping in the office, and I nearly did, but then I became aware that the Arse had actually made some signings and this was the reason for my sudden waterworks. It sounds absolutely brilliant does this record. It's instrumental and not as folky as I'd have first thought. It has an innocence that I find really involving and lovely. It was all recorded outside as well and you can really imagine making these compositions outside and getting "vibes" from Mamma Nature. I wonder what it was recorded on as it sounds ace and if it was recorded outside, then I demand to do my next recording outside...with no pants on. The instruments sound great as do the hands that are playing them. A wondrous folk effort really. Norman Records understands that the Tedworth Ghost has been seen in Tedworth and is undergoing a medical, he's expecting to sign for an undisclosed fee any time now...we will keep you posted. A sterling textured walk down gorgeous summer lanes and fields...
