This Croydon band did a session for my show in June 2024, their Pessimistic Pizza album of that year a firm favourite released by the Audio Antihero label. This year they've been putting out a single a month through their in the manner of The Wedding Present's Hit Parade and it's been an intoxicating ride so far.
The June 2026 offering, Forgotten Folk Song, is the latest of a series of indie masterpieces that, in any decently ordered world, would be getting onto radio playlists all over the country. It's in mine anyway in a two hour show that you can now hear on-demand at the Dandelion Radio Mixcloud as well as streaming as part of this July schedule here.
Forgotten Folk Song finds them in reflective mood, sorting through the debris of the past against a backdrop of a manic strum while knowing this debris is the very foundation of life:
And when we cling to this stuff/it feels like going home.
While you wait to collect the rest of the series, check out what's gone before on their bandcamp:
January: Sometimes Life's Too Short for Jazz
February: Trying to Take Pictures of Ghosts
March: Psychic Night at the Croydon Toby Carvery
April: The All Encompassing Need to Say Goodbye
