Joe Thompson and Hey Colossus have been part of the European underground
scene since 2003, touring the hard miles round the continent and
releasing twelve albums.
Seventeen tracks are explored here, with squats, empty rooms and
rammed festivals played along the way. DIY by instinct, sonic and
ethical influences from all who have pressed their own records,
from Sun Ra to Wiley via Minor Threat are detailed. With funny,
self-deprecating honesty Thompson nails a sometimes thankless, but
always rewarding life making music in a community of friends; ageing
gratefully and very, very noisily. Multiple voices tell the story
and, refreshingly, fellow travellers are fully credited and valued.
“To this day I genuinely think these moments are worth the
fight.”
