Jon Langford & the Skull Orchard Welsh Male Choir "Big White Cloud"

from Jon Langford's Lucky Seven Series, Part 1 by Jon Langford

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    This series of singles was inspired by those fine musicians who regularly use their medium as a means of encouraging political change, expressing those truths which go untold in mainstream media, offering perspective to the inquisitive and camaraderie to fellow travellers.

    We are at a strange moment. Economic and political tensions building in the decades since the Reagan / Thatcher era are exploding throughout much of the world. A worldwide pandemic has exposed further exposed the inequality and injustice which affects many more people than the number who benefit from it. In their small way, these songs hope to speak to all of this and more.

    We envision 23 singles in all, but these will initially be sold in volumes of three. A single will be announced every month or so, when all three singles in a volume have been announced, they will be shipped together. We're calling this a "Jon Langford" series of releases, but many other musicians will be involved and included along the way - occasionally even without Jon's presence. "Extras" will be announced along the way as well. Due to the labour and expense involved in this project, quantities are strictly limited, though it's likely that some of the tracks will appear again at some distant time.

    The a-side of the first single is Jon with one of his many bands, the excellent Skull Orchard, performing a new song, "Losers", for which he and James Langford have made a video, which you can find on this Bandcamp page (click on the song), YouTube and other outlets.

    The b-side has GW Sok and OMA performing a recitation of "Aberfan 1966", written by Jon to record his feelings on the morning of the 50th anniversary of the disaster, and "to talk publicly about the that singular event the scarred my childhood." Sok was one of the primary members of the Dutch band The Ex - who collaborated with Jon in numerous ways throughout the years. Its relevance to the death of innocents by the hand of greed and corporate irresponsibility is more apt today than ever. We consider GW Sok and OMA's elegiac rendition the brief prayer before before righteous action.
