It’s really beautiful. It has an almost ‘earnest’ seriousness (for want of a better description) that’s a very fitting response to the times we’re in
Excellent description!

Did you enjoy Christian Bale as the monster though?
I have a visceral memory of that day, 4 days before my 17th birthday. I suspect you’re right.
I guess my question is when did this change? Or had it already changed by the time we were doing this and we were simply unaware of it?
When I was 14 in the late 70s, nearly 10 years after the Beatles split up, we started a Beatles society at school, where we spent lunch breaks intensely listening to Beatles records & solo records by ex Beatles. We had no clue we were doing anything other than discovering and enjoying a great band.
I absolutely loved this one. Mad, chaotic fun. And Jessie Buckley - as ever - was brilliant.
Now playing Collider by Warmth. Not really sunny afternoon music, but gorgeous nonetheless - deep drifting ambient drone

That was my experience of progressive rock. Kids a few years older who thought listening to Yes made them culturally and intellectually superior beings.
Growing up in a Midland town where heavy rock was compulsory, hearing Television for the first time aged 14 on the evening rock show on BRMB Radio was such a breath of fresh air. I’d never heard anything remotely like it. Nearly half a century later, I can still recall how that moment felt.
The Heartwood Institute- Plague Dogs. Released Monday 20th April. Now available to preorder- link in bio.

Now playing: Repetitioneer Suite I & II by Ian Hawgood & Zaké @ambientdroner.bsky.social on Home Normal. Granular, monolithic drone at its best!

I only met him once, when he came down to the sessions for the first Woodbine and Ivy Band album - he was an absolutely lovely man.
Here’s a nice interview with him from a couple of years back

This is excellent. Straight outta the west German industrial heartlands of the mid 70s by way of Sheffield and Chicago. In many different ways!
There’s a Q&A with @heartwood9.bsky.social on the Folk Police blog about the new album, and his influences and approach. Dig in!
