lyrics
Yawning, "Good Morning"
Polluting the air
He'll follow down where the pelican go
Whitechapel Monday in mythical flair
Only one-way to the puppet show
With a pound in, with a pound in
With a pound in
With a pound in, with a pound in
His pocket
That he found in, found in the road
Lying in the roadside never to be owed
(With a pounding, up, down
Pounding upside down, he'll win the show
Lying in the roadside never too B.O.'d)
Stop, do the hop when your pennants are down
Show me the way to the vegetable row
Gardens that blossom in pink paraffin
Where I can fly my balloony bin
With a pound in, ...
Rumba in tumbler and tambour-in-tum
Hopping a tram Metropoli-tango
Triumphing daily with splendid array
Public performing at Pimlico
How astounding, no one ever helped
Him cross the road

Petrichor is one of the most exciting track collections produced in the last 2 years. A unique coming together of five musicians who are at the top of their tree; shedding new light on 70s style rock. England
Needlepoint's latest release. Lovely, soft-sounding music with great musicality. Great to be taken back to the sound of the 60s/70s but with new, harmonious ideas. England
The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
got recc'd this on youtube and loved it- reminds me a lot of late 60's and early 70's records i used to hear playing out of my parents' stereo on sweltering summer days. OPAL
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
