Eponymous

a supercombo team-up between simon lord (ex simian) and rafter roberts, the roberts and lord duo present their asthmatic kitty debut, 'eponymous'. roberts' rough and grimy (yet complexly arranged) analog backing tracks paired with lord's clean, digitally-recorded vocals gives these songs a tricky kind of depth that is immediately engaging. this effortless juxtaposition reigns throughout the album. influenced by nonsense verse poets like ivor cutler and edward lear, lord gives us a simple, light-hearted return to innocence, the sweaty exuberance of a dance party with all your friends around you.
