THOSE UNFORTUNATES - Raymond's Perfect World



Here's a recording we made up in the attic at Brahlitz station- words from George Orwell's Animal Farm. Music by Those Unfortunates, featuring Rob and Mike from Keyboard Rebel.

Beasts of England

Beasts of England! Beasts of Ireland!
Beasts of land and sea and skies!
Hear the hoofbeats of tomorrow!
See the golden future rise!

How does the life of an animal pass?
In endless drudgery.
What's the first lesson an animal learns?
To endure its slavery.
How does the life of an animal end?
In cruel butchery.

Beasts of England! Beasts of Ireland!
Beasts of land and sea and skies!
Hear the hoofbeats of tomorrow!
See the golden future rise!

Now the day of beasts is coming,
(End to drudgery!)
Tyrant man shall lose his throne
(End to tyranny!)
And the shining fields of England
Shall be trod by beasts alone.

Pull the rings from out your noses
(End to drudgery!)
Tear the saddle from your back!
(End to tyranny!)
Bit and spur must rust forever,
Cruel whips no more shall crack.

Beasts of England, seize the prizes,
Wheat and barley, oats and hay,
Clover, beans and mangel wurzel
Shall be ours upon that day.

Those Unfortunates are a London, UK based four piece, formed in 2013. Via their own label, Midnight Bell, they've released three limited edition cassette EPs, a bunch of proper singles, and in 2016 their debut LP, 'Nothing Isn't Beautiful'.
After a well earned rest, they return in 2023 with their second LP, Welcome to Woodberry Down.

As well as playing and co-curating regular London club night 'Life at the Top' with Walk Upright, Those Unfortunates have played gigs everywhere from the side of the street to the inside of a brewery and the window of a dress shop. They've thrice closed Aaahh Records' annual festival at the disused Oberberg-Brahlitz railway sation near Berlin, Germany, and they will be returning in 2016. 
In January 2014 they curated a free one-day festival of music and literature at Old St Mary's Church in Stoke Newington, entitled 'UnLondon' (www.unlondon.org). They'll be doing another one as soon as they get a spare moment.
