Release Notes:
Seasonal Affective Disorder is a terrible thing. Soon it will
be dark when we leave for the office in the morning and dark
when we leave it in the evening. Girls are starting to wear
big coats again. A long Winter of pasty-faced grumbling
approaches.
Which we guess is where The Art of Saying Nothing by Imperial
Leisure fits in, all brassy ska about boozinÆ, chillinÆ,
sexinÆ, and all the other things we like to get up to when the
sun is shining and we feel confident enough to lop the ægÆ off
the end of the word with a sexy apostrophe. Take that,
grumblinÆ
Now normally we here at Music Towers hate ska music. It has
brass instruments. The bands always seem to have too many
members, who spend most of the gig dancing and pretending to
enjoy their own songs a bit too much. And it reminds us too
much of Dog Eat Dog. But maybe we should just cheer the fuck
up, yeah?
If theyÆve passed you by, Imperial Leisure are a gang of
London-based guerrilla punks. I donÆt mean that they hide out
amongst the ruined squats of Lambeth, striking out during
daring night-time hitÆnÆrun attacks on local prog acts, but
that they roll up and play gigs in unexpected places. Like on
the beach. Or in the carp park of Reading Festival.
