The hectic period of my move (in the truest sense of the word) is in full swing. Most of the furniture and my record collection are already in the new flat. Now it’s time to move all the smaller items. Which means lugging everything down the stairs and back up again. I don’t want to complain, but it makes the job so much easier when there’s music playing in the background.
I can’t say why I chose an album by Julian Cope to serve as background music for my work. Presumably, though, it’s simply because I like it and haven’t listened to it for ages. Self Civil War was released six years ago and showcases every facet of Cope’s songwriting skills. The album is brimming with lo-fi, Krautrock-inspired rock tracks and folk ballads. It’s an album that’s often overlooked in his extensive discography.
