**** new album THE LIBRARY BOOK OF THE WORLD by Danbert Nobacon and the Pine Valley Cosmonauts now available in US and North America on BLOODSHOT RECORDS. European release (out of GERMANY) SEPTEMBER 21st , UK release SEPTEMBER 24th on BLOODSHOT RECORDS.Scattered to the four corners, when the good ship Chumbawamba crashed against recently sunken islands in holy rock'n' roll wars of late 2004 I found myself suddenly alone and adrift. At the mercy of the four winds, with only boy scout lashing skills and a half tin of dubbin to make my own sun scarred hide sea worthy, I washed up in the not-so-new-anymore world. And from the rapidly mutating dnaetrius, not least a new album THE LIBRARY BOOK OF THE WORLD by Danbert Nobacon and the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, released AUGUST 13th on the venerable Bloodshot Records of Chicago. A couple of tracks from the record are featured here. Also a couple of live performances of songs which feature on the album with The Shifting Sand band. And a video for an acoustic (non-album) version of another track above ... more unorthadox videos coming care of VERBAL BURLESQUE TV ............................................................ ............................................................ ...........The record features the navigational and storm-riding savvy of a crew of mekons/wacobrothers/executioners' songs outlaws: with Captain Jon Langford on telescope, guitars and compass; first mate John Rice on any and every instrument that has ever been held together by strings, and those fashioned from the ships' rigging in times of emergency; Al Doughty on 'take a walk on the starboard side' bass guitar; Dan Massey on "they thought he was a monster but he was a king" drums keeping us upright; and Pat Brennan with the piano keys to lost kingdoms; whilst I strum, holler and attempt to fashion the map from the sea-drenched pages of libraries long since thrown overboard.
