CLOWNS, MARY HAMPTON, CRAYOLA LECTERN 5TH SEPTEMBER

“CLOWNS without a doubt one of Brighton’s finest live bands, turning wherever they play into a sweaty, heaving mass. Oh and they rock like one mean bastard. For the uninitiated among you, expect peculiar and twisted tales set to dirty garage rock riffs, combining the rockabilly swagger of the Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster with the pop sensibilities of early Squeeze. Disturbing yet darkly playful, if you haven’t had the live experience before then where the hell have you been? Prepare to be well and truly clowned.” Source Magazine

MARY HAMPTON‘s style has its roots in mauve, turn-of-the-century European chamber music, with frequent nods to the hairiness of older forms, and ripened under the influence of even more primitive sounds from the real world.

Fetching out old songs from the silent archives of the traditional canon, and winching up new songs from her imagination, she then sets them both to work alongside each other. In this way, she can play with certain dynamic tensions that are perpetually at work in the world: the past and the present, the natural and the civilized, the extraordinary and the familiar, the symbolic and the real, the pillar and the post etc.

CRAYOLA LECTERN ‘This album frequently feels like the sonic equivalent of life flashing before the eyes.’

The Fall And Rise Of…
‘An exquisitely eccentric debut album. 8/10’
Uncut Magazine

‘A warm, reflective and deeply human record. From Worthing, with love.’
The Quietus

‘The Fall and Rise Of has considerable tenacity for a debut-album…and there’s enough weird ear-candy to satisfy the most picky kid on the Wonka Chocolate Factory tour before and after he’s necked the burping cola.’
Flipside
