Duration: P00H02M52S
Description: 'Our Flowers will Grow' is one of the earliest Last Party tracks which we recorded on a cassette (with Daniel Ashkenazy) and then stored away in a drawer for 30 years - we had to completely re- learn the song because we never knew what chords were back then - It is an ode to our optimism and resilience despite the chaotic world around us.

The music of The Bitter Springs is a very full experience. In the course of an album the listrener is presented with beauty, anger, melody, and surprises (sonically and lyricall) galore. It's captivating music and this is one of their finest. PS The bonus tracks are outstanding! Andy Waltzer

Like Yer Wounds Too
by Poor Performer

supported by 18 fans who also own “Our Flowers Will Grow”

An outstanding album I've quickly developed an addiction to. Clever & compelling lyrics, melodies that get right under the skin, bits that will make you laugh and parts that could make you cry if you were capable of crying. It's a varied thali of sounds as well, from dizzy waltzes to a kind of back street Brill building feel to a few songs that conjure Songs For Sale era Vic Godard. So good. Buy it & if you're like me & want a CD, download it & burn it on to a CD-R. You're welcome. Andy Waltzer
