It’s Immaterial
Life’s Hard and Then You Die

This is a weird one, folks. I don’t really know how to describe it. Vocalist John Campbell has a great singing voice but he’s also sing-son speaking much of the time against musicality that brings to mind (to me, at least) Marc and the Mambas and Penguin Cafe Orchestra.
It’s awfully hypnotic. Wholly unique. Uncommercial but never off putting.
What a charming thing, this.
