I was surprised when the the postman knocked on the front door on Saturday morning and handed me my pre-ordered copy of 'Thuban', the third studio LP by Italy's Lay Llamas, as it's not actually scheduled for release until Friday 15th. Unfortunately Mrs S and I have a particularly packed schedule for the next fortnight, so the one quick spin through the record that I've managed so far is probably all that it's going to get until well beyond that official release date. I'll hopefully return to 'Thuban' in greater detail in due course, but for now if I said that it features guest appearances from the likes of Goat, Clinic and Mark Stewart of The Pop Group and is an exotic melting pot of afrobeat, psychedelia and krautrock, it might get you into the general vicinity of the noises you can expect to hear.Monday, 4 June 2018

Interesting... need to explore further. Thanks for the heads up.
Like the sound of this. Will give it due attention.
Yep. Top stuff.
Last year I wrote about the festival on nature's calendar called Lammas - You thought I was writing about Llamas. The tables have now turned.
Tremendous, says 50% of the humans in the house. The other 50% "are trying to sleep"!!
Interesting and a little challenging. Good to catch up with some new (to me) sounds.
