Forest Swords - Bolted (Light Indigo Vinyl)Forest Swords, aka acclaimed Merseyside based producer Matthew Barnes.

roots rock

Music For A French Elevator compiles all of the Books’ non-album tracks into one fittingly surreal package befitting the group who essentially created their own genre (often reluctantly described as “collage-pop”)
