Now THAT'S a teaser! I can't wait to hear more!

Okay, more like RIDICULOUSLY EPIC!!! Dying to hear where it goes from here.

I am so freaking excited it hurts. YAY! :)

Waiting VERY impatiently for this to come out. Just turned on my company's CEO and his entire family to the sweet tones of DPR and they're hooked.

Lyrics, CDs and downloads are available at https://ringlefinchuk.bandcamp.com/album/tall-tales.

Four years in the making and entirely self-produced, 'Tall Tales' is the first full-length album from London-based alternative folk band Ringlefinch. 

With dark-humoured, wittily introspective lyrics set to upbeat, offbeat earworm tunes and a strong folk-storytelling sensibility, 'Tall Tales' centres on themes of identity, exploring how we all tell ourselves stories of who we are to try and make sense of our place in the world. This sense of self-determination even extends to the production of the album - the band recorded and mixed it on equipment they built themselves.

"Woolpacks"
The Woolpacks are a scattered group of gritstone boulders standing on the flank of Kinder Scout in the Peak District. Shaped by the winds over many thousands of years into peculiar, otherworldly shapes, they stand tall and silent high above the valleys - but there’s a playfulness to them as well, somehow. This tune foreshadows “Coldwell Clough” both musically and thematically.

Steam Powered Giraffe - Mecto Amore

Where Have You Gone is the latest single from Mr Bruce. He wrote the lyrics to this song in the wake of the unexpected death of Tim Cole (aka Chucks), his bandmate with whom he shared a very successful career in The Correspondents for more than 13 years. The song perfectly represents all the desperation, turmoil and rage of losing someone too soon.

Producer Angus Kemp has created an intensely beautiful and densely layered piece of dance music. Swirling sirens and cascading synth melodies give the track real urgency above a pounding bassline. The drum pattern is partly constructed from retuned recordings of people banging pans for the NHS during lockdown which was created by Boss Lids Records collaborator DOL who co-produced the early demos of the track.

The track is accompanied by a music video of Mr Bruce performing the song at Chucks’ memorial show in front of a sold out audience at London’s Islington Assembly Hall. The classic live format video is subverted when the camera rises up and out of the venue ascending into a London skyline.

A very good song my sister and I wrote. Enjoy! 🚙 

—

If I had a big van
I’d have a friend Dan
And we would go dancing every night
We'd meet a french band
And make a new plan
To go out and then we start a fight

If I had a big van
Id have a big van

If I had an old bus
Theres be a big fuss
Cuz I would be guzzling all the gas
They’d say that I must 
Be crazy because
I am just driving too fast

If I had an old bus
And I had a big van
Id have a big van

(I’d have a big van)

If I had a red truck
I’d never get stuck
In traffic or caught up in a ditch
I’d call my friend Buck
Who has a pet duck
And also a trailer he can hitch

If I had a red truck
And I had an old bus
And I had a big van
I’d have a big van

(What’s after that?)

If I had a spaceship
I’d take a quick trip
To go and see aliens in space
But I have a hurt hip
So maybe I’d slip
Fall over and kiss em on them face

If I had a spaceship
And I had a red truck
And I had an old bus
And I had a big van
I’d have a big van

Let me tell you something else...

If I had a fat goat
I’d have a blue boat
And we would go sailing on the sea
We’d have a nice float
In the crocodile moat
Just my goaty friend and me

If I had a fat goat
And I had a spaceship
And I had a red truck
And I had an old bus
And I had a big van
I’d have a big van

If I some tall shoes
I’d be the big news
Somebody that everbody knows
But maybe I’d choose
To curl up and snooze
Cuz I would have bruises on my toes

If I had some tall shoes
And I had a fat goat
And I had a spaceship
And I had a red truck
And I had an old bus
And I had a big van
I’d have a big van

If I had a blue whale
That’d make a fun tale
That’s something you dont see everyday
If it didn't go well
And the whale got impaled
Whatever I'd have to swim away 

If I had a blue whale
And I had some tall shoes
And I had a fat goat
And I had a spaceship 
And I had a red truck
And I had an old bus
And I had a big van
I’d have a big van

(Where are we now?) key change (oh!)

If I had a key change
That’d be a bit strange
But I just might do it anyway
It’s out of my range
So I am in pain
Just thought that I'd try something, ok?

If I had a key change 
And I had a blue whale
And I had some tall shoes
And I had a fat goat
And I had a spaceship 
And I had a red truck
And I had an old bus
And I had a big van
I’d have a big van

(Let’s go back to where we were, that did not seem like that worked, we gave it a shot)

If I had a baby shark
(Do do do do do do do)
Baby shark
(Do do do do do do do)
Baby shark
(Do do do do do do do)
Baby shark
(Do do do do do do do)
Baby shark

(I’d have all that other stuff and I’d have ) big van

I had a ... little bug?
No...

If i had a million dollars
(If i had a million dollars)
Id have a big van

Oh dan why did you take my van?
(Why did you take it?)
Buck told me you took my van
(Yes, we used to be friends)
Quack
I wrote this song...etc.
(Long speech about dan)

Que sera sera
If I had a big van big van
I’d have a big van big van
Que sera, big van...
