White Numbers by Bevis Frond
The Bevis Frond's 2013 album with full band line-up is possibly the strongest set of his entire career, proving that the inspirational music runs clear in his veins. A gigantic set with the epic 42 minute Jam to round off proceedings, every song on here is a gem and proves that quality music exists outside of the mainstream, although why the Bevis Frond have never been celebrated as the epitome of excellence in British music by the mainstream press escapes me. For those in the know, cherish this - for newcomers - what delights you have in store.
Originally released as a Triple LP and double CD, CD One ending with The Hook and CD two starting with Dead Weight if you wanna burn them after downloading.

The Bevis Frond, the band name used by Nick Saloman for his projects, released Miasma in 1986 to great acclaim from fans of psychedelic rock. A steady stream of LPs since then showcase Nick's strengths of strong songwriting, finely crafted lyrics, and a musical mixture from wig-out guitar jams to sensitive folky numbers. New album The Leaving Of London is a triumphant return after a 7 year hiatus.
