J.F likes to keep busy. I saw him on the tele-box the other night and now here he is again, singing out of the stereo box. 'Barnacled Warship' is a brooding little sea shanty based around a catchy little cello riff. It's a pop single and a folk song all in one. The chorus doesn't stand up as well as the sinister verse line but it's still kickin' it, fighting the good fight...etc. The B-side contains two poems written and performed by big J.F himself. I can't review poetry, it ain't my field. I find it difficult enough to review the music so I'll leave the poems up to you guys to decipher.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
