The Bastard Sons of Dennis: The Furniture (part 4: the chair)

Posted by Wudmaster on 19/11/12

Following an outburst of life that has kept us all too busy to do anything sensible for a few days, The Furniture (part 4: the chair) by The Bastard Sons of Dennis has now been released and added to their Cherry Smoke Empire album at our store at Bandcamp.

This is the fourth part of the ongoing tale of Los Muebles, a traditional tale from the Asturias region of northern Spain, that tells of how a disfunctional family of linguistically challenged fishermen lost and then found some furniture following a flood, and the consequences. The Bastard Sons of Dennis have loosely translated the song into English. Guest appearances are made in The Furniture (part 4: the chair) by Kim Davies, who provides the surprised squeak, and a number of bells that can easily be found online from various free sound sample download sources.

We will be releasing the whole of The Furniture as a single once all nine of its parts have been released.

Posted by Wudmaster on 04/11/12

Wud Records have changed their three recommended albums at Bandcamp. If you would like us to recommend your album at Bandcamp, please contact us by emailing info@wudrecords.co.uk and if we like it we’ll add you to our rotation list.

These are our new recommended albums at Bandcamp:

http://emmadoll.bandcamp.com/album/first-demos
Only two songs and they will stick in your ear if you listen. With simple, effective production, lyrics to make you smile and a great vocal in the stylee of Adele/Amy Winehouse, we want to hear more.

http://sleepingbrothersrecords.bandcamp.com/album/assembly
Fabulous quirky lo-fi rock from the talented entertaining Pink Lights on Sleeping Brothers Records. We love what Sleeping Brothers are all about and their awesome cassette-salvaged archive repertoire.

An office favourite. Cool horny big-band jazz harmony sounds bound tight by the slinky guitar of Andrew Boscardin. Truly masterful playing and production, and great artwork too. Zappa/Weather Report.

These are our previous recommended albums at Bandcamp:

http://blbz.bandcamp.com/album/bright-lights-big-zombie
Indie rock and pop from our shoegazing neighbours Bright Lights, Big Zombie. Surprisingly infectious, slightly spaced out and touched by early Pink Floyd in parts. An honest and refreshing album.

http://thecoffincollectors.bandcamp.com/album/leopardskin-tales
Strange dark gothic rockabilly with a big guitar sound. Elements of comedy in the lyrics and the music and refuses to take itself seriously. Suggestions of Stray Cats, Sultans of Ping and B52s.

After seeing their brilliant version of Baboon Shampoo on YouTube we had to recommend this. Cool, amusing and highly listenable, these old-skool rapmeisters will improve your day. NWA, Stereo MCs, Us3.
