This Time A Bird

This Time A Bird is a very 2016 album: lyrically it covers Brexit (good God what a hateful word), the U.S. Presidential Election, the international refugee crisis, and the death of Sir Terry Wogan, plus lots of swearing. In fact, the album contains (at the last count) 31 instances of the word ‘Fuck’, in various guises. So it’s probably not especially child-friendly. Buuuuut… Fuck it. Sometimes it needs to be said 31 times.

However, it’s not all doom and gloom. This Time A Bird is actually a very positive album: it’s about moving on; it’s about reincarnation; it’s about acceptance. It has birdsong running through it. It’s colourful, and it’s happy. Everyone deserves happiness. So buy it now – maybe it’ll make you happy too!
