about

[close call] is released as an EP, only for sale through bandcamp and at the live shows. These songs could have just as well been on the album [distant chatter] but made for a great set in this format and for the "official album" to fit perfectly fine on vinyl.
We're proud to present them to you here! Writing, performing, recording and being able to share this music means the world to us.

Bloody Noses EP

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
