Their first release on Fire Records, ‘Horror’ a collection of songs written in late 2022 but providing a horribly prescient reflection of the world in its current miasma and how we got here.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e‘Horror’ looks at history and the legacies of British imperialism with mashed up lyrics set against a typically eclectic sound that amalgamates everything from dub, country, noise, rock \u0026amp; roll, electronica, punk, music hall, polka and you can even take your partner for a nice waltz on ‘Sad And Sad And Sad’. The roots of their global sound reflect their nomadic journey through time and space from Leeds to California in the West and Siberia in the East and is woven into the fabric and intricacies of their song creation…\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSounding like The Chills and R.E.M circa the I.R.S Records years, ‘Mudcrawlers’ sees just about the whole band joining Jon Langford on vocals speaking of Irish famine and refugees journeying to Wales. ‘War Economy’ shivers in the cold of such Boroughs spiked one-liners: “Clinical coercion will not achieve dominance!” Sounding like its straight off a Jenny Holzer neon sign (she of Abuse Of Power Comes As No Surprise), it’s held together by a disgruntled swaggering riff that underpins an explosion of disquiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, Rico takes the lead on the maliciously luscious ‘Fallen Leaves’ an appalled and appalling Hammer Horror take on climate breakdown reminiscent of Rolling Thunder Dylan, that recalls The Pogues at their most introspective, its Celtic twilightism augmented by Susie Honeyman’s keening violin as the dying sun sinks down and the river Styx flows on in the pitch black night.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eLabel:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFire Records – FIRELP770\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFormat:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nVinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Red\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCountry:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nUK\u003cbr\u003e\r\nReleased:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nApr 4, 2025\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGenre:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRock, Folk, World, \u0026amp; Country\u003cbr\u003e\r\nStyle:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIndie Rock, Country Rock\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA1        The Western Design    4:38\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        Sad And Sad And Sad    3:23\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Glasgow    3:25\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA4        Fallen Leaves    3:10\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA5        War Economy    2:55\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA6        Mudcrawlers    3:19\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB7        A Horse Has Escaped    2:42\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB8        Private Defense Contractor    4:04\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB9        Sanctuary    2:51\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB10        Surrender    2:31\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB11        You're Not Singing Anymore    3:17\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB12        Before The Ice Age    3:25\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPhonographic Copyright ℗ – Fire Records\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCopyright © – Fire Records\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPublished By – Fire Songs\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRecorded At – Elefante Estudios\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMixed At – Elefante Estudios\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRecorded At – Chateau Trumfio\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMixed At – Chateau Trumfio\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPressed By – Optimal Media GmbH – BO22660\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA\u0026amp;R – James Nicholls\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBass, Guitar, Synth – Baron Dracula\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDesign, Layout – Mr Gordo\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDrums, Percussion, Backing Vocals, Lead Vocals – Steve Ghostly\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGuitar, Bass, Piano – Lu Cthulhu\u003cbr\u003e\r\nLacquer Cut By – ST*\u003cbr\u003e\r\nLead Vocals, Backing Vocals – Sally Tremblings\u003cbr\u003e\r\nLead Vocals, Backing Vocals, Guitar, Mellotron, Sampler – Tom Onster\u003cbr\u003e\r\nLead Vocals, Backing Vocals, Guitar, Melodica, Brass [Simulations], Piano, Whistling – H.P.
