Parental advisory: politics! Chris T-T returns

The album breaks from his ‘London’ trilogy. The reason? “The record-in-progress turned out to be a dystopian fantasy that predicted the London terrorist bombs in raw detail. Hinging on an elaborate fiction that is now fresh history, it’s unreleasable.” So 9 Red Songs is what he’s come up with instead – sarcasm and politics, back to folk roots. It’s gonna be super and it’s gonna get its own ‘parental advisory’ sticker. Rude!

Chris sang a couple of songs with Jim Bob (that Carter USM, children) last night at the Camden Barfly. It was proper good. Chris also supports the bloody great Brakes on tour next month, on all dates except Leeds. Bad luck, Leeds.
