Here's a little lost three minute gem I've been enjoying a lot lately, from the other side of the very famous and still lovely 'First Picture Of You'. It's like a slight sketch dashed off on a dreamy day, but no elaboration could make it better.
Looking them up, I see they reunited for a concert in Liverpool last month, and are planning to release a new album soon; there are some working versions of new songs on their MySpace.
Who'd have thought?
The Lotus Eaters - 'The Lotus Eaters' (1983)
Love this band for some reason...
ReplyDeleteFirst Picture is one of those songs, quite possibly the most evocative of memories of a teenage summer that I can think of.
ReplyDeleteThat's the reason I was grasping for, Simon. Well put.
ReplyDeleteNice tune, I have the follow up You Don't Need Someone New on a rather lovely picture disc.
ReplyDeleteIn a grovelling voice, would it be possible to get a copy of that PF Peel session?
ReplyDeleteCheck yer inbox Drewster.
ReplyDeleteThanks Davy, kinda set me in mind of Jethro Tull's Living In The Past. Love the painting too, like Gaugin meets Russel-Flint and Chagall.
ReplyDeleteThanks Davy, but nothing in my inbox!
ReplyDeleteA touch of the Klimts too Nick? I'll take your word on the Jethro Tull.
ReplyDeleteDrew: check again - I must have used a dud address...
Interrupted a bit of Friday Funk to check this out.
ReplyDeleteProbably shouldn't have...
Lovely none the less.
