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 Nessi Gomes Diamonds & Demons Rock And Pop | Baraka | 1LP Released 31st March 2017 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nessi Gomes Diamonds & Demons £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Baraka SKU: BARVP02 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stephen Malkmus Traditional Techniques Rock And Pop | Domino | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th March 2020 £22.00 - £23.00 Select options Stephen Malkmus Traditional Techniques £22.00 - £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Domino Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th March 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Jeff Beck Wired Rock And Pop | Sony | 1LP Released 15th September 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jeff Beck Wired £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony SKU: 19658804921 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View David West Jolly In the Bush Rock And Pop | Tough Love | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th March 2022 £21.00 Select options David West Jolly In the Bush £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Tough Love Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th March 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Circa Waves Young Chasers Rock And Pop | Virgin Records | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 26th March 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Circa Waves Young Chasers £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Virgin Records SKU: V3135 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bobby Weir Ace – 50th Anniversary Remix/Remaster Rock And Pop | Rhino | 1LP Released 3rd February 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bobby Weir Ace – 50th Anniversary Remix/Remaster £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 603497836673 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Who, The Live at Shea Stadium 1982 Rock And Pop | Mercury Studios | 3LP Released 1st March 2024 £44.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Who, The Live at Shea Stadium 1982 £44.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mercury Studios SKU: 5836617 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 1st March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Caspian Dust and Disquiet Rock And Pop | Big Scary Monsters | 2LP Released 25th September 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Caspian Dust and Disquiet £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Big Scary Monsters SKU: BSM167V Formats: 2LP Released Date: 25th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Silversun Pickups Better Nature Rock And Pop | New Machine Recordings | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 24th September 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Silversun Pickups Better Nature £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: New Machine Recordings SKU: 0857223004243 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Jeff Beck Group Live On Air 1967 Rock And Pop | London Calling | 1LP Released 24th October 2023 £15.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Jeff Beck Group Live On Air 1967 £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: London Calling SKU: nn274994 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th October 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Rock And Pop Start again
