Grumpy Woods
And so, deep in Grumpy Woods, we retreat into the world of prog to reflect on the dystopian nightmare of the world outside. Away from corporations sucking the pennies from our pockets and the politicians who lie to our faces, smirking at our gullibility. The bishops in their finery peering at us from a lofty height, hands held out in judgement “for a small consideration, your sins will be forgiven”. Our worth measured in trinkets, whilst the disaffected, the lonely and the poor appeal for mercy. The acquisition of wealth poisons everything.
“... a fantastic album. Nine tracks beautifully pieced together...”
— Jerry de Borg/Jesus Jones
“Contender for album of the year 2020. Beautifully bonkers”
— Tosh Flood/The Divine Comedy/Pugwash
“The first thing that strikes this listener about The Flowers of London's debut album is the unusual timbre that resonates throughout this superbly crafted – if gloriously eccentric, nine track album...it's a pity there aren't more artists brave enough to make records like this.”
— Perry Blake
