Ahh, good. Had heard record was recorded at the beginning of the year, but then they thought summer wasn't a good time to release an album, so had said they were going to sit on it for a while. Had fears he'd get all perfectionist & scrap it.

the 42 minute long "homemade traditional electric jam" on the new one white numbers is white pepper-era dean ween mindmelting

I'm really digging this new album. I didn't think he had it in him anymore.

Really? The last album was fantastic too. _What Did For The Dinosaurs_ & _Hit Squad_ were a bit of a slump, but still had their moments.

I thought the last album was okay, but a bit restrained. This album is unrestrained Bevis goodness, which I didn't expect. On first listen I think it might be one of his best.

yeah this one is great. jam after jam for 23 songs and then that epic blowout at the end

So I know 2 things: I like "High On A Downer" and that the North Circular tends to be a traffic infested hell.

FYI, these guys host a radio show on the MIT radio station called "The Scene", which is a must-listen mostly for the between song banter:http://wmbr.org/www/sched-fri#show5728
You can listen to last 2 shows online, or somebody used to archive the episodes here:http://bevisyahoo.pbworks.com/w/page/35058179/Other%20Appearances

Yes! I listen to their show most every Friday morning. I know absolutely nothing about their band, but love the stuff they play (mostly obscure 60's era psych/freakbeat stuff with a few surprises thrown in) but love the banter, and the stories.

White Numbers is absolutely incredible for an album arriving so late in anyone's career

New one is great! Second half is where it comes together.

As of this morning, He'd Be A Diamond is the greatest song in the world. I had it on a fabulous compilation a friend made but I'd not heard it in years. Randomly found it and am enraptured all over again.

I used to frequent the same second hand record shop on Wood St walthamstow as he did so have wondered if i wound up with any of his old records.Great place that, was known as Sounds Familiar at the time.I met him at a St Vitus show at the Standard near Blackhorse rd in around 1988 too.
Saw him at the Dome in Tufnell Park sometime around then, maybe a couple of years later.

I don't know any of NS's older stuff, but really liking Little Eden, especially the last 2 tracks on disc 1, "The Man In The Garden" and "As I Lay Down To Die".Heard it playing at Red Eye, Sydney's great record store, and I thought I was listening to some kind of classic NZ Flying Nun-type stuff. I guess similar roots.

Back in the early days of the internet, before I'd really ever heard either, I used to get Bevis Frond and Bardo Pond mixed up fairly often. Anyway, I've since long been a Bardo Pond fan, but just started getting into Bevis Frond with Little Eden. The new one, Focus on Nature, is pretty great too!

thanks! I am a huge fan of the early stuff and still like hearing what he's up to

he lives somewhere near Hastings nowadays, I saw them play there before covid. he used to have a 2nd hand record shop in nearby Bexhill but quit it a couple of years ago, shame because it was a decent shop, bought quite a lot of stuff the one time I visited it. it's still a record shop so I dunno if he just sold the stock on or if someone else started fresh
― Colonel Poo, Thursday, 28 March 2024 22:37 (one month ago) link
i like the latest frond LP a lot but i feel that little eden is his masterpiece. nick's hit rate even after all this time is absurdly high. i suppose it would be when you're writing a song every couple of days

Yeah I went back to Little Eden again over the weekend and it remains astonishingly good.
