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 Milky Wimpshake Heart and Soul in the Milky Way Rock And Pop | Fortuna Pop! | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 4th February 2013 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Milky Wimpshake Heart and Soul in the Milky Way £11.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fortuna Pop!
