Good news for fans of Anglophile psych today. Jack Sharp’s solo offshoot from the on-hiatus Wolf People had a debut single out on Ghost Box earlier in the year. Now Large Plants…
I’ve been a fan of quite a bit of David West’s output, from Rat Columns to his time with Total Control, Lace Curtain, and Rank/Xerox. He’s a mercurial songwriter to be sure,…
