Fantastic video cant stop watching it.

produced brilliantly

[FullMetalApparition]

Gregory's directorial magnum opus thus far, an audio visual onslaught of Poe-esque Gothic tableau(And a cool song as well :) 5*, Well Done to all those involved :)

3:00 "You asked if there were bad times... YEAH MANY" the most brilliantly performed line

[schnickelbop]

Great lyrics, quality video.So many funny, clever lines. I've to keep re-watching to catch them.

"Each night I go to sleep

The way Christians go to lions

God can take my body

But I'm leaving my soul to science"

"I'm told there'll be no jobs until somebody dies

But you know a pay-cheque is just another term

For "consolation prize" "

Wonderful.

[Kriand94]

This definitely made my day!

@debtrecords Thanks for taking my comments in good humour. I was just using Tom Waits as a kind of shorthand for ‘oddball old-time folk/cabaret singer’, as a few people had already mentioned him. I suppose I’d just like it if the vocals were bolder and more confident, that’s all. Maybe it's power and enunciation that's the issue, not singing ability.

I remember seeing you lot in Odd in Fallowfield in 2009, and thinking you were great. Glad to hear you’re still at it.

And the beard is badass.

@neonatalpenguin Ah, you presume two things here: 1) Louis is trying to be Tom Waits. 2) Louis can actually sing. Neither is true. Very glad you like the lyrics, in the writing process they take the most effort but get commented on the least. I'm grateful that someone's noticed them. There will be some straight singing on the upcoming record (you have been warned!). Thanks for the constructive feedback, most people just talk about the beard these days (bit depressing). Louis.

[neonatalpenguin]

I like these guys, but I wish Louis would just sing instead of doing that talky scat thing he does. Their lyrics are really good, but half of them get drowned out by the cadences of his speaking voice. Consequently, he seems less like Tom Waits and more like Kevin Eldon. Just my two cents.

[ioet]

reminds me of Cats musical for some reason :)

[hyraxlord]

These guys just played my mum's wedding at the weekend. Absolutely bloody brilliant.  Keep it up guys.

Saw this guy at KnockanStockan yesterday! He was pure class

[steamrollerpunk]
