David McCormack is currently putting the final finishing touches to his new, epic album. He's so very very close! After all these years I wouldn't believe me either but what else have you got? Nada.

 

The small parts we've heard sound to these ears like a leathery hardened gladiator of shimmering literate pop enthusiastically coupling with a recently escaped mental patient on acid. In some kind of garage. A garage ...for spaceships. You almost don't need to buy it now, such is the keen accuracy of that description. Less an album than a defining step forward towards a brave new world of sonic unity, it will be released, oh, by... Look, you will have it by the springtime. Go and play The Truth About Love again and warm the bed up.

 

The album title is still yet to be announced but David sends his thanks for your suggestions, although as he visits this site slightly less often than you do he was initially a little confused at the plethora of two-word emails arriving unbidden to his iphone.

 

If you haven't got it yet, get Cassingle, for the love of god.

You'll take it to your heart like an infant found abandoned on the mountainside. It will grow up and kill you, but that's not til much later.--->

 

If you'd like to know more about David than is strictly healthy then you could do worse than visit 'Music is Crap'.
