Our Song of the Day comes from Jono McCleery with a cover of Robert Wyatt’s ‘Age of Self’. The track is taken from his forthcoming new album Pagodes. Wyatt released the song as a single in 1984 to raise funds for the miners strike. John Tams was on the b-side.
Watch the latest video from The Unthanks for ‘Flutter’, their latest single to be released from their forthcoming album Mount the Air which they will be touring from February.
Different Every Time’ is a career spanning, double compilation album of Wyatt’s work. Curated by Wyatt, Domino and Marcus O’Dair, it acts as the perfect companion piece to O’Dair’s new biography of the same title and provides our Song of the Day.
On Songs from the Shipyards The Unthanks capture that indefinable link between men and ships…from the pride and love that many had to the sudden sad decline and loss of work and community.
The Unthanks are taking the show, The Unthanks Explore the Music of Robert Wyatt / Antony & The Johnsons, on the road in December, to mark the release of a live album, captured last December at the Union Chapel.
