Thirty Pounds of Bone // New album "The Taxidermist" out next month!
Coming to a record player near you... (If you buy it that is, which you will!). We're super proud to present The Taxidermist, the fourth full-length album from Thirty Pounds of Bone - and completing an Armellodie-hat-trick - released on 12" heavy vinyl and super-lite download on Monday 23rd March 2015.
Where Johny Lambâs first three albums - 2006âs The Homeless Children of Migrant Mothers, 2011âs Method, and 2013âs I Cannot Sing You Here But For Songs of Where - all relate heavily to place and itinerancy, rooting themselves (sometimes unconventionally), in folksong, The Taxidermist marks a partial departure from Johnyâs previous works. Retaining all the hallmarks that made those other records so special, The Taxidermist is still unmistakably a Thirty Pounds of Bone record, but this time round the ratios have shifted somewhat.Â
There are love songs and death songs, as Johny mixes acoustic folk-like songs with distortion smothered Shoegaze, analogue synth, and Salvation Army type brass. Itâd be a push to say this is Thirty Pounds of Bone gone pop, but musically thereâs a change of focus, and on The Taxidermist we find Johny at his most wistfully romantic. Â
Lyrically, thereâs an underbelly of the not-quite-right here throughout The Taxidermist. Â Whilst never explicit, the themes, characters and contents of these songs seem to flirt with darkness. Whose eyelids are being filled with clay on âThe Glass of an Irisâ? Why is money being tied to thighs on âRibbonâ? There is robbery (âPasganger, Or The Wagonâ), revenge (âThe Expelledâ), and resentment (âAll Your Sonsâ), blood (âTwo Birds in the Brineâ), death (âBefore Iâm Doneâ), and regret (Iâll Go Too). But there is atonement, remorse and tenderness too. This is a sentimental record.
Johny plays everything on these recordings, which were made in a cellar somewhere in West Cornwall. After reading a book about taxidermy, Johny recognised parallels between taxidermy and the process of recording. The fixing in time of performance, or more the manipulation of performance to suggest something extra real, hyper real, more than what can be achieved in the flesh. This record comes from that idea, while at the same time resisting the potential to use modern technology to achieve that âbeyond realityâ sound common in modern recordings. There is no software instrumentation. There are no edits or drop-ins, the instrumental and vocal parts you hear are complete performances. The rough edges and even small mistakes have not been airbrushed out. These recordings are densely layered, each take being a small part of the whole, never to be rendered by an ensemble. Pre-order the vinyl HERE and get the first two tracks pinged in your box the noo, including this one, the awesome, 'Ribbon'. Have a listen... Â
Iâve got a bin out in the open, I cover it twice with foil and then put my skateboard on top to prevent foxes from foraging. But Johny Lamb is a giver. He loves to give. Last year he gave you something special for Christmas. This year he goes one further. This is more special. This is from the heart. Here. Take it. You don't need to forage little red fox. Take it. It's all for you. ...just stay out of my fucking bin! Incase you haven't got the jist, here's a free Christmas download from Thirty Pounds of Bone.
THIRTY POUNDS OF BONE - HOME FARING FREE DOWNLOAD SINGLE TAKEN FROM THE ALBUM 'I CANNOT SING YOU HERE, BUT FOR SONGS OF WHERE' RELEASED ON MONDAY 6TH MAY 2013. The son of an ordained clergyman, Johny Lamb (aka Thirty Pounds of Bone) was initially raised on the Shetland island of Unst; heâs always been fascinated with the sea and the fisheries. He has lived all over the British Isles, and has toured extensively throughout Europe. His life revolves around folk music and he believes strongly in innovation and change in traditional music rather than preservation of repertoire, as âa museum piece cannot be a âlivingâ tradition.â "Home Faring" is the first song to be lifted from the new album, 'I Cannot Sing You Here But For Songs Of Where', the follow up to 2010's 'Method'. The new record sees Johny further explore his continuing theme of place. Split into four separate locations; (past place, the place of heritage, present place and the in between), the record aims to articulate experiences of itinerancy and second-generation migrancy. The album is released on Monday 6th May and is available to Pre-order on CD from http://thirtypoundsofbone.bandcamp.com/album/i-cannot-sing-you-here-but-for-songs-of-where.
"Donât expect Johny Lamb to be rocking up in your charts or on any mainstream radio stations anytime soon, but if you enjoy music with heart, emotion and lots of meaning then you should make it your duty to seek him out." And we'd placed our bets that this was the one to go double-platinum and cement the label in the sands of time. Fucksake.

More details soon...
Johny Lamb's Thirty Pounds Of Bone has recorded a selection of songs from people he's played shows with exclusively for Woodland Recordings
Recorded mostly for fun, but also as way of being mildly sarcastic about traditional music's claim over oral transmission. 'Have Done with the Celtic Phantom'includes super quiet and affectionate versions of tracks by Electric Soft Parade, Chris T-T, The Great Park, Mary Hampton, Dive Dive and Armellodie label-mates, Le Reno Amps and Something Beginning With L.
Each CD is individually numbered out of 100, and comes with characteristically lovingly prepared hand made artwork from Woodland Recordings. The album is out today and you can purchase it via Armellodie from HERE
