And those were the days of roses...

Tattersall's new solo lp Little Martha arrived for me yesterday - god bless the pre-order! The personalised signing was a nice touch and happily the excellent pressings of both Happy For A While and The Lobster Boat have been replicated - for an album recorded into one mic it sounds fantastic. Once again no-frills doesn't have to mean lo-fi.

It's interesting that both the WP's and their spiritual forefather Darren Hayman have released instrumental works this year. Like Hayman's Lido, as a fan of their words, I suspect the record may get spun less by me than their "proper" albums but on first listen it sounded lovely and I'm looking forward to hearing it again.
