The Show Boat, Over
12" Vinyl LP
by Hamilton Yarns
Published by Hark!

This sixth release from Hamilton Yarns is a musical story set somewhere between town and countryside, told through the sounds of piano, cornet, balophone, violin, triangle, accordion, metronome and narrator, this cycle of parlour folk fables takes the listener through scenes of windy hillsides, unlit footpaths and sheer drops to traffic jams, bus rumbles and the hypnotic chatter of the pavement.

Carried along by an array of clunking, clattering percussion, minimal melodic lines, field recordings, dead pan vocals and campfire choirs, Hamilton Yarns create a two-sided journey that is spooky, comic and hypnotically compelling.

Distressed parlour music” – The Wire
