Speed the Day

Description

‘Speed the Day’ retains the classic line-up from the last two albums’ line-up and adds electric ukulele player Tansy McNally, hailing from Australia and adding a different psychedelic lacquer to an impassioned set of nine new songs, plus an oddly paranoid cover of Chicago’s ’25 or 6 to 4′, which slyly mutates lyrics about late-night songwriting into a paean to speed. (Although your interpretation may vary!) An far darker and more energetic album than ‘The Magical Record of Blue Orchids’, their album of obscure garage covers, ‘Speed the Day’ is a sterling addition to the the canon of Martin Bramah masterpieces.
