Product Description
2007 release from the long-serving British Alternative band led by former XTC keyboardist Barry Andrews. Glory Bumps, their 11th album, is in many ways more recognizably the descendant of Shriekback's mid-'80s Alt-Rock' classic Oil And Gold than any since. Anthems, hooligan choruses, big guitars, brass, a smattering of Psychobilly and, as usual, shed-loads of words. Glory Bumps has a curious tangential relationship with Barry Andrews' and Martyn Barker's recent improvised album Monstrance, a collaboration with XTC's Andy Partridge - Glory Bumps uses a number of loops created from the Monstrance album ['because they were there'] as well as Martyn's inimitable live drums and real-time guitar contributions from Andy. However there is no doubt that this is a Shriekback album 100% - as you will hear Wendy Partridge who has sung backing vocals on every Shriekback album since 1986 features as does Barry's son Finn Andrews (of The Veils) who lends his intense vocals to the happy-clappy title track. CD in embossed gold foil pack with lyric sheets. Malicious Damage.
