These headlines are getting worse and worse, are they not? Perhaps I need a break. Or a dictionary. Whatever.
Alexander Tucker (see, here's where we reach the news element of this particular news piece) has revealed that his next ATP Recordings-released long-player will be called Furrowed Brow. Fans, make a note on your diary's November 14 page, as that's when it'll be out.
Unless it's delayed. Albums are often delayed, often without any good reason. So don't come crying to us if it's not out on November 14. We'll only laugh and say we told you so.
Furrowed Brow was recorded in Kent, Tucker's home county no less. The good PR people behind its release, they tell us it "combines harmonised vocal patterns, layered instrumentation and heavy sonic bliss riffs to create a cross between David Crosby, doom metal and Terry Riley".
Heck, sounds good no?
Furrowed Brow will be the follow-up to 2005's Old Fog LP, which was well-received by critical types literally across the board. Yup.
Hmmm, could be good could be bum
Alex used to be in a band called Suction. They were gash.
Then again he was also in Unhome and they were very ace indeed, maybe a poorer mans Joeyfat.
Tunbridge Wells represent. Needs a haircut, mind

i love this guy but trying to book him is a nightmare, he never answers his emails. Anyone know how to get him to play anywhere?
You could always try
and contact him through Jon at Unlabel

i love old fog. i initially bought it specifically because of that photograph - so moody and unclean! i'm definitely going to make time to see him at atp.

Met a really pretentious man once that kept shaking his head in a patronising way at me and telling me 'Alexander tucker' is a genius. For that reason I've never given his music a fair chance.
Furrowed Brow
Really, really good record. A total surprise as I loathed him when I saw him support Deerhoof last year.
