TOM ROBINSON: solo in Cardiff

Everything was legendary with Robert is from Dave Graneys 2014 solo album FEARFUL WIGGINGS. 

The album has been a year in the making. Very minimal art pop in approach. This dynamic track leads us into it. Acoustic guitar, bass xylophone (like a Marimba) and thrilling percussion. Wild pop dynamics, the voice right out front like a 60s Country star should and massed , reverbed harmonies.

“Everything was legendary with Robert”

Who is Robert? Which Robert? Was he legendary or did he just make it so? Is that the same thing?

“it was good-when he talked to you- he really talked to you – he was always ON – In the moment!”

An elusive Pimpernel/Withnail  type figure. Dave Graney writes a song in a Ray Davies style. With a Bo Diddley / Latin feel.  

The recording features Dave Graney on driving acoustic, twin harmonizing electrics and bass. Clare Moore on percussion and bass xylophone. 

“his riveting self-consciousness drew you in/ a crowd gathered to see what he was lookin’ at/ talkin’ about’/ everything was legendary with Robert…”

The last few years have seen Graney and his band the mistLY blowing the roof off of small clubs with the jaw dropping electric guitar pop jams. .FEARFUL WIGGINGS is a new scene. A little folky - a little jazz in the chordings. A lot of countrypolitan in the vocal register and level in the mix. Drama, of course, and grooves. Kind of pop. 


Everything Was Legendary With Robert

In A Glass Darkly, the first track from the album Mythical Men
https://robjn.bandcamp.com/album/mythical-men

Lyrics:
I see your angel face,
in a glass darkly,
a world of out of space,
your hand it slipped past me.

I see your angel face,
riding into the dawn,
out into the desert,
I blinked and you were gone.

Cambridge-based singer Robjn is a writer on British Art, alongside his music-making. Something of a serial collaborator working in the bands Laserlong and Cliff Child. He's also sung for film composer Justin Marshall Elias (Circle, 2015) & sung for musicians all over the globe. Here he releases his own songs.

“Our previous success is no guide to future performance”.

MOUSE DEER - I Can't Do Anything Else

Just Another Place


Just a little truth
Just a little reason
Just a little lie
That sent me to prison

Just a little heart
Just a little soul
Just a human being
That I didn't know

Just another time
Just another place
I thought you were my friend
But now I see your face

Just Another Place

Randolph is watching a telecast video on his Ipod 253s whilst passing the twin stars of Pollux at twice the speed of Dark. Unfortunately he is pulled over by a Geminium Ranger Patrol. They seem unconcerned about the devilish speed but inquisitive about Randolph's choice of Music. Communications officer, Roc Petrona warns Randolph via his implanted Audi-listener that summary executions have been reported by the Geminiums' for travellers who have the wrong 'Taste' in Music. What should Randolph say ....'Am I Rock' or 'Am I Soul'.

AM I SOUL ?
