Peter Murray - Ants And Angels

This is an exciting new addition to Bandcamp - Peter Murray is someone I knew for a long time as an outstanding bassist before I ever discovered he could sing and write songs as well. 

Then he brought out this album, and I was stunned that he'd done it all himself (with other musicians, but no label support or anything) - proof that skills ingenuity and time are more important than massive amounts of cash when trying to make amazing records. 

It's a really great power-pop singer/songwriter record. Like middle-era XTC, or a more interesting version of the Rembrandts. Great tunes, strong grooves, weird lyrics. Who could ask for more. 

And it's $5 Canadian. Which is about £3. So get it, cos it's awesome.
