Like Yer Wounds Too
by Poor Performer
supported by 10 fans who also own “Theme from the OYC”
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.

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!

The London band's new album is a vibrant postcard from southern Italy, boosted by brass, strings, and pizzica percussion from local players.

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future.
