THIRTY POUNDS OF BONE
here's what some people wrote on bits of paper after they heard the first album.....
"Occupying its own trans-century time-period and impressively at odds with the rest of the record buying world yet all the more timeless because of it.
‘Beer is for your daytime and the whiskey’s for your bed.’
So wonderully, wonderfully homesick. And true." CRUD Magazine 5/5
"There is much to savour on this accomplished collection of plaintive laments, of which the title track and drone like uyeasound are exceptional." Q Magazine.
"With its tattoo-style artwork depicting a storm-tossed sea, and snapshots of the band in archaic suits clutching pints of Guinness, it's clear that this album isn't going to fit the clichés of many of the recent 'weird folk' trends." WORD magazine.
"Essentially, folk music should be heartfelt, honest and an expression of your roots, and Thirty Pounds Of Bone deliver with this wonderful record." NEWNOISE.NET
"Thirty Pounds of Bone like to dwell on shit. Heavy shit. The songs interlink via juxtapositions that create a wonderfully morbid and equally petrifying narrative." PLAN B Magazine
"If the lyrics, “My matches wouldn’t let me down again,†weren’t enough to make you think Lamb should be locked up, the military drum line shielding wailing screams in the background should have you scrambling for the Crimewatch phone number." GIGWIZE.COM
"Thirty Pounds of Bone is one man johny lamb — standard bearer for all things lo-fi in this shiny, chrome-plated 21st century." FLAVOURPILL
"Launching a new folk band can't be too easy, but when their album is as bold and innovative as Thirty Pounds of Bone's is, Folk aficionados should take notice. Proudly different, it has the side-ranging ambition and talent to appeal far more than only folk fans alone." 4/5 - RECORD COLLECTOR Magazine
the debut album "THE HOMESICK CHILDREN OF MIGRANT MOTHERS" is out now across the UK, and online. Drift Records
