Although we make a rule of not releasing things that are already out in the ether, as soon as I heard Goddam Nobody last month, I knew we had to do something such was the sheer brilliance of ‘Cut and Paste to Waste’ the title track from his debut EP. Goddam Nobody is the moniker of Matthew Oliver who hails from our favourite musical town - Falmouth. 

'Cut and Paste to Waste' opens with the swirls of No Age'esque ambient noise. Instead of being followed by a flurry of drums it devolves into a broken heart fuzz-pop ballad akin to that of Girls or Elvis Depressedly and talks of bottles of wine on long train journeys, taking drives in the dark and watching life pass.

I’m actually having to resist quoting every other line of this song, such is the quantity of quick one-two’s that hit you like a firm first to the heart. It really is one of those songs you want to crawl up inside and the introspective nature of it certainly seems to suit this time of year.

Goddam Nobody - Cut And Paste To Waste

Recorded and mixed by The Black Tambourines with Max Jacomb and Ben Woods. Mastered by Rory Attwell.

I Wanna Stay Away

In terms of people I have met since I started the label, Ben Woods was probably one of the first. Having tagged along with The Black Tambourines to the release party for aih02, he drunkenly haggled me down to 20p for a New Years Evil shirt. Since that formative night our paths have crossed many more times and with each occasion he seems to make more of an impression. First with the bluesy Lost Dawn on aih05, he then joined Gorgeous Bully on drums for the recent full band EP and most recently he's been tagging along with Pastel Colours who were also recent Pizza Club members.

This makes it sound like he's here on merit alone, but his latest incarnation as The Golden Dregs (and his first infront of the kit) is his finest innings yet. Recently described by NME as anti-garage (I'm not sure what that means either), 'The Life Aquatic' is a downbeat ditty, which despite Ben's talk of feeling weighed down, has a rather soothing effect. Maybe it's the husky tones. I'm not sure of the title's link to the wonderful Wes Anderson film, but you can certainly imagine it being perfectly matched with shots of Bill Murray looking longingly out to sea, having a smoke.

Free download as always and three physical pizza boxes are available from our shop NOW.

We asked Ben about his dream pizza, his response was my favourite yet..."Margarita, cause big dreams lead to disappointment".
