Carnival of Fools is the music of the drowsy slumber at the end of a day of over a provincial village green.
It is, as the cover suggests, the delight and half-remembered excitement of bunting strung prettily and the canvas tents hiding the delights of the fete. It is a melodic re-imagining of a by-gone age, the rose-tinted sound of perfectly pleasant pop bringing a welcome acoustic folk direction to the many psych-infusions around.
The album costs £5.00 plus postage and packing.
