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 Nearly New View Product Quick View Crows An Wra Kalopsia Rock And Pop | Barely Regal | 1LP Released 28th March 2024 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Crows An Wra Kalopsia £10.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Barely Regal SKU: nn283452 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Level 42 Guaranteed Rock And Pop | Polydor | 180g, 1LP Released 25th May 2016 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Level 42 Guaranteed £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polydor SKU: 886922609213 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 25th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stone Temple Pilots Core – National Album Day 2023 Rock And Pop | Warner Music | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th October 2023 £28.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Stone Temple Pilots Core – National Album Day 2023 £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Music SKU: 603497829521 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th October 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Quasi American Gong Rock And Pop | Domino | 1LP Released 18th February 2010 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Quasi American Gong £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP242 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th February 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hauschka What If Rock And Pop | City Slang | 1LP Released 31st March 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hauschka What If £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: City Slang SKU: SLANG50117LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bob Dylan Nashville Skyline Rock And Pop | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 22nd March 2016 £73.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Bob Dylan Nashville Skyline £73.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: MFSL245424 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 22nd March 2016 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Holly Johnson Europa – Indies Only Coloured Vinyl Rock And Pop | Pleasuredome | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes CD Released 29th September 2014 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Holly Johnson Europa – Indies Only Coloured Vinyl £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Pleasuredome SKU: PLDV008X Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes CD Released Date: 29th September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Freddie Mercury Messenger Of The Gods Rock And Pop | UMC | 7", Box Set, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 12th February 2021 £96.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Freddie Mercury Messenger Of The Gods £96.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 4787870 Formats: 7", Box Set, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th February 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Arcade Fire Neon bible Rock And Pop | Columbia | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 27th November 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Arcade Fire Neon bible £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Columbia SKU: 88985462461 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 27th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Quilt Held In Splendor Rock And Pop | Mexican Summer | 1LP Released 17th February 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Quilt Held In Splendor £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mexican Summer SKU: MEX1491 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
