Yes, he of Young Marble Giants fame. Afraid I have been a
little lax in keeping up with whatever the hell he has done in the intervening
years (except was he in Weekend?), but was put onto this six song mini-album by
Davey Hammond of Smelly Flowerpot fame. What – you not heard of Davey?...tut, tut…
Anyway, old Stuart has produced a lovely piece of what I
will describe as New English Folk. And if no such scene exists then I insist we
create it. Acoustic guitar based songs in the main that are deceptively gentle,
as some of the lyrics hint at something deeper and with a degree of mournful
sadness i.e. Warning Signs 2 (I guess the title gives it away a tad).
A special and quite unique little piece of England.
