About Me


Our album, Great Drama..., is available to buy for £6 (plus p&p). Just message us if you're interested in getting hold of one.
“With Mogwai expertise, Madox Ford take a wonderful melody and run with it, slowly morphing and varying the atmosphere until a ruckus, distorted guitar climax...”
“GDITDLH has a certain droning movement that's a real draw to some listeners. It has wonderful moments of beauty and variety that help inspire the rest of the album…”

Hope & Anchor. They are not all his stickers.
We also have two four-track EPs that are available. Our first EP (blue cover) is down to about two copies left, while there are just twelve or so of the second one (white, with bugs). Just drop us a message if you want to get hold of one.
Both the album and EPs were written and recorded with the excellent Dave Williamson on drums.

We made our profile nice and dark by employing the undeniable talents of Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 although it was a pain in the arse. THOMAS!
We would have preferred Jerry but he had other commitments.
