Oh, The Apostles. Once was fine. This second time around the production is frustrating me as is how close the punk stuff hews closer to Crass than to anything remotely fun or exploratory.
It’s not a cohesive record, although it might be somewhat of a concept record, I don’t quite know, but it is poorly recorded and produced. 
In a way Andy Martin is the British, sliiiiightly better adjusted Daniel Johnston. With less love and more paranoiac aggression.
