Noise and words by Fashoda Crisis recorded at Tom Donovan Studios, Rowhedge in June 2021.

lyrics

This is the tale of a consumptive man. A diarist of sorts. There’s blood on the tips of his fingers where once there was ink. His cheeks are powder black, his cuffs damp, his brow unwhite. He limps through strange towns, foreign dust on foreign boots. This is uniform. Later there’s the promise of a tattered hole in his throat from an errant sniper’s bullet for the bitter words to spill from. His lungs hold the dust of these hills. His lips are frozen. This is uniform. This is you. The rivers of this nation are crying out for more copper and bronze. And I’ve been counting in units of Clive. In that peculiar shade of puce. This is uniform.

Andy 'Doog' Phipps is probably the most talented musician in the world. Shouty vocals, wonky riffs. What more could you ask for? Fashoda Crisis

Best band in the world. Incendiary excellence all round, but Damien Sayell is a Force. Of. Nature. in these shows. And looks like Pedro Pascal in the cover shot. retrofan007
