Shriekback business:
Just out, new studio album "Why Anything? Why This?" First listen indicates it's solid but it needs more listens. Some tracks sounds like retreads of previous material, others are quite excellent like "And The Rain" led by Carl. No matter what, Martyn Barker is one of his generations best drummers.
Last year they put out "The Elated World", a compilation of fan-funded tracks. Some great bits, some instrumentals, worth hearing but not a critical addition to their canon.
In 2015 they released "The Island Of The Hopeful Monsters (Lost Demos From The 80's & The 90's)", which is what it says on the tin. Pretty inconsequential.
They've also put out a new live album from their 2017 tour and an old live album from 1987 but I didn't get those.
