Andy Weatherall/ The Asphodells
Has anyone else noticed that Andy Weatherall hs a new album out under the name The Asphodells? It's really good - recognisably his work but more 'pop' than Two Lone Swordsmen, for instance.

Not sure about the pop comparison but yeah, its bloody lovely..
It's quite a varied album
But some of the vocal tracks have an 80s electro pop feel to them which is different from Sabres or Two Lone Swordsmen. I really like it all.
It's great
Weatherall's been on really good form for a while now.
every time I listen to an Andy Weatherall track (or Joy Division for that matter)
I really, really, really, really feel a desperate longing for one of these

I'd like them anyway but when I hear a Weatherall track I want to kill for them, especially the reverb
Fantastic album
He's rocking a very good Ripley from Wooden Shjips beard these days as well. Talking of the Shjips, they're supposed to be remixing one of the tracks from this new album.
Weatherall has been on really good form for pretty much his whole career.
Would love to hear them have a go at 'Beglammered'
Not sure which track they'll do, but there's a remix version of the album on the cards

Finally, what’s next and what are you most excited about?
“Quite a few releases coming up, the first few being ‘In Collusion’ on Horn Wax, ‘Off the Rails’ on the V/A Rothmans label, and my EP with Matilda [of Bodyhammer] on Astro Lab which has ‘Xylophone’ and ‘Somewhere in the City’ on it. There is going to be a remix version of The Asphodells album, particularly excited about the prospect of a Wooden Shjips remix!”
There's a remix 12" being done for Record Store Day - 20th April
