Volcano The Bear ‎– "The Inhazer Decline" (United Dairies ‎– UD 055) 1999



Bookish Leicester Quartet, Volcano the Bear's, first 'proper' LP, on Nurse with Wound's United Dairies imprint, from the end of the 20th Century.
Shove The Residents, Renaldo and the Loaf, Nurse with Wound, Current 93, This Heat,and some carefully selected 'Krautrock', into a Kenwood Chef, and you could possibly end up with this. Plenty of silly voices,Dada-esque lyrics,daft noises, and a veritable rainbow of instruments,played with varying levels of skill and incompetence.Ladles full of 'Too clever by half' poured copiously over the finished product,although the constant invention keeps that particular irritation at bay.
Can get a bit silly, but was there anybody else doing this in 1999?.....er.....probably; but not quite as effectively.

Hi JZ,

Great to have you back after the break.
Some of the links are asking me to log in to Google of late - this one being case in point. But some don't - it's strange. Is this intended?
Apologies if I've missed something along the way and your eyes are now rolling!

Thanks,
PB

Yeah, google decided to do a 'security' upgrade on my older files, fucking it all up in the process....now you have to ask me.If you ask me, i will accept, and then i can remove the fucking upgrade...so....some are ok other aren't ok.Eventually all of the fuckers will be clear of the ask the host button. So ask me for the volcano record so i can clear it....in fcat as many as you possibly can would be good.
