A thread to consider Second Language (Plinth, Piano Magic, Dollboy etc) and beyond (Clay Pipe Music, David Sheppard, Michael Tanner etc)

Clay Pipe not Second Language but the new Andrew Wasylyk ("Balgay Hill - Morning In Magnolia") is very nice to have trickling along in the background.

I've greatly enjoyed the two EPS released this year by Theory of Ghosts, which has also prompted a deeper dive into the Piano Magic/Second Language discography. Glen's songwriting is really strong with this latest project. One of my top picks for 2023.

This is my Piano Magic "Best of", albeit the "Best of" on the night/week/whatever that I compiled it:

At different times it would have contained more whirring and clicking.

very nice list

btw, the Theory of Ghosts EPs are pretty good. I know glen a bit but haven't asked him specifically why he essentially just changed the name of the band, but maybe it's just because he retired PM, then felt like still making music, but didn't want to pull an LCD Soundsytem and return two years later. I know the ToG lineup plays PM songs live though. If there's a difference, it's that it's focused more on the 'rock' side of PM which always fluctuated in prominence

Glen gets into those questions in the interview he did with Sound of Violence earlier this year

Also thanks djh for the playlist
