There's a few live dates, too. Subject: concert information from the desk of mutante inc....... The Nightingales The Nightingales, one of the UK's truly maverick rock groups release their first new album for twenty years on Monday 2nd October on Iron Man Records. "Out of True" has already been acclaimed a classicb&b& This is that rarest of achievements: a comeback album that actually adds to an already illustrious reputation. In their first, mid-1980s heyday, the Nightingales were the West Midlands' answer to the Fall b Peel show perennials, whose lyricist and singer Robert Lloyd yodelled his way through some of the most perceptive songs ever written about stolen cigarette breaks. And right from the sardonic opening battle cry of Born Again in Birmingham ("Cheap wraps of coke were yet to hit Nuneaton"), Out of True finds the Nightingales not merely back to their best, but actually improved. Lloyd's sage-like vocals burst forth from their habitual restraining mesh of Captain Beefheart-style guitar with new-found confidence and clarity, and Taking Away the Stigma of Free School Dinners could be the work of an older, wiser Arctic Monkeys. Ben Thompson - The Telegraph 30.9.06 The first album from their new line-up, which includes the teenage wunderkind guitarist Matt Wood, sees their front man, Robert Lloyd, splatter kitchen-sink cut-up lyrics over scratchy, rhythmically challenging riffs, like a Black Country Captain Beefheart. The albumbs opener, Born Again in Birmingham, steamrolls over his unwitting inheritors.
