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 Awkward Silences, The The Awkward Silences Rock And Pop | Blang | 1LP Released 4th December 2020 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Awkward Silences, The The Awkward Silences £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Blang SKU: BLANG84LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th December 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peter Perrett How The West Was Won Rock And Pop | Domino | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 30th June 2017 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peter Perrett How The West Was Won £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP382 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 30th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steppenwolf Gold: Their Great Hits Rock And Pop | Analogue Productions | 1LP, 200g Released 13th October 2017 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steppenwolf Gold: Their Great Hits £35.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AAPP115 Formats: 1LP, 200g Released Date: 13th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Decameron Third Light Folk | Transatlantic | 1LP Released 15th April 2024 £14.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Decameron Third Light £14.00 Genre: Folk Label: Transatlantic SKU: nn284582 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Oliver Tree Cowboy Tears Rock And Pop | Atlantic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th July 2022 £22.00 - £25.00 Select options Oliver Tree Cowboy Tears £22.00 - £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Atlantic Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th July 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Wild Beasts Last Night All My Dreams Came True Rock And Pop | Domino | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th February 2018 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wild Beasts Last Night All My Dreams Came True £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Domino SKU: DOMDOC002LP Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peaches The Teaches Of Peaches Rock And Pop | XL Recordings | 1LP Released 12th December 2011 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peaches The Teaches Of Peaches £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: XL Recordings SKU: XLLP163 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th December 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eyedress Mulholland Drive Rock And Pop | Lex Records | 1LP Released 1st April 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eyedress Mulholland Drive £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Lex Records SKU: LEX156LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tindersticks Tindersticks II Rock And Pop | Plain Recordings | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 22nd September 2011 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tindersticks Tindersticks II £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Plain Recordings SKU: PLAIN162DLP Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 22nd September 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pearl Jam Live On Ten Legs Rock And Pop | Monkeywrench | 2LP Released 16th March 2011 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pearl Jam Live On Ten Legs £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Monkeywrench SKU: AMKW60329 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 16th March 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
