This release features so many great singles

from which these recordings came

A Sudden Chill finally returns us to the calmer waters we started in and this last track closes the album with a melancholy that’s not surprising given how soon after Arthur’s death the album was put together

and the perfect introduction to one of the most exciting records of the year

A special 7” single just for RSD Black Friday

a brave naked smile in this shitty new world

crime and faded glamour

We also have a unusual Eastern tinge to some of the percussion and Kirchin’s distinctive pastoral oddness is here too

These Tracks Are Unhummable And At Times Unutterable

it’s “The only Fall record any normal person need own”

showcasing a unique chapter in the Sun Ra catalogue

The  new songs recall the art rock of Sparks and The B-52s as much as politically-minded punk
