whence, the Thirty Pounds of Bone SKU: ARM78LP Barcode: 0635131587719 16.00 £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Armellodie Records Released Date: 26th March 2021 Buying Format: 1LP Includes Download Code Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Armellodie Records is proud to present ‘whence, the’, the new album from Thirty Pounds of Bone aka, Johny Lamb. ‘whence, the’ is the sixth full-length album by Thirty Pounds of Bone and the third in a series of records that play deliberately with the affordances and problems of studio recording. 2015’s ‘The Taxidermist’ was awash with huge, constructed ensemble pieces, 2019’s critically-acclaimed, ‘Still Every Year They Went’ was recorded live, at sea, on a commercial fishing boat, and this last takes Johny Lamb’s fascination with analogue synths further than before using Eurorack modular synths as the bedrock for each song. The result of working in this way is of course, that many of the parts on the record are all but impossible to recreate; the nature of the patches being built in the moment, captured, and undocumented. This time around Johny has focused on the tiny details of sadness, largely inspired by the events of ‘A Story of Long’ where the central moment of the song is observing a close friend pouring his husband a glass of water in a hospice, just some few hours before his death. This was an intimacy and time that Johny did not expect to be a part of (the album is dedicated to the couple in question). But this stirred a way of thinking about how huge events are often typified or defined by very small gestures or happenings, and each of the tracks here comes from that place. Be it the existential crisis brought on by stripping wallpaper in ‘Woodchip’, how a single day might signify the end of a long relationship (‘A Note to Myself’), or the miniature resignations to compromise we make in professional life which eventually overwhelm our very identity (‘The Cynical Start to a Jaded Career #1’). Johny’s lyricism and composition remain oblique but touching, and these songs of little moments of sadness, regret and grief are built to remain small. They are paradoxically content in their sorrow and should perhaps be kept as companions to similar feelings. “Organic and immediate. Music you can touch with your fingertips” The Irish Times “Talent to appeal far more than only folk fans alone” Record Collector “Exquisite index of gin-soaked desolation…. Lamb sings like a man unable to see beyond keeping a stiff upper lip to the end of the song. Even if he manages it, you might not.” Mojo Artist Thirty Pounds of Bone Genre Rock And Pop Label Armellodie Records Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings A Note To Myself You Made Me A Story of Long But Sad Descender The Cynical Start to a Jaded Career #1 Sing This Dog Woodchip Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Thirty Pounds of Bone and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Thirty Pounds of Bone The Taxidermist Rock And Pop | Armellodie Records | 1LP Released 23rd March 2015 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thirty Pounds of Bone The Taxidermist £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Armellodie Records SKU: ARM49LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ruen Brothers All My Shades of Blue Rock And Pop | Ramseur | 1LP Released 1st June 2018 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ruen Brothers All My Shades of Blue £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Ramseur SKU: RR021964 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Crystal Antlers Nothing Is Real Rock And Pop | Innovative Leisure | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 18th October 2013 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Crystal Antlers Nothing Is Real £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Innovative Leisure SKU: IL2016V Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 18th October 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beatles, The 1958 – 1962 Rock And Pop | Doxy | Box Set Released 3rd June 2013 £44.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Beatles, The 1958 – 1962 £44.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Doxy SKU: DOY011BOXLP Formats: Box Set Released Date: 3rd June 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Crowded House Time On Earth Rock And Pop | MapleMusic Recordings | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 4th November 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Crowded House Time On Earth £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: MapleMusic Recordings SKU: LRCH0001LP Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 4th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Night Shop The Fountain Rock And Pop | Salinas Records | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 22nd January 2021 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Night Shop The Fountain £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Salinas Records SKU: LPSAL106 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 22nd January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hookworms Hookworms Rock And Pop | Faux Discx / Gringo | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 27th October 2014 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hookworms Hookworms £11.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Faux Discx / Gringo SKU: FAUX015WAAT046LP Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 27th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros Rock And Pop | Vagrant | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 2nd September 2013 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Vagrant SKU: VAG40971 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 2nd September 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Vaccines, The Combat Sports Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 1LP Released 30th March 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Vaccines, The Combat Sports £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 19075807351 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Proclaimers, The Sunshine On Leith Rock And Pop | Rhino | 180g, 1LP Released 23rd October 2017 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Proclaimers, The Sunshine On Leith £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0190295784416 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 23rd October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tunng Turbines Rock And Pop | Full Time Hobby | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 14th June 2013 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tunng Turbines £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Full Time Hobby SKU: FTH170LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th June 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
