pretty fun, huh? as wide ranging as that was, it was just the LP2 from the double album Free Humans, from Richard Dawson, Rhodri Davies, and their weirdo collective called Hen Ogledd… which apparently is Welsh for something like The North (as in the border area between England and Scotland).

Their next album comes out Friday, and I can’t wait.

One of the songs from it:

@saucer also, my brain is filled with bits and pieces of social media scrolls so i hadn't grasped the fact that hen ogledd included richard dawson (with whom i was a little familiar) so bonus thanks for helping me put some pieces together! #ListeningClub

@saucer I'm a big fan of the wider Dawson universe, although they put out more stuff than I get around to hearing, so this was new to me, thanks!

@saucer I didn't care for the start, but it got better as it went along. I honestly thought it was Saint Etienne by the end. #ListeningClub

@saucer My first Listening Club and I heard the opening bar and knew exactly who it was straight away. I got introduced to Hen Ogledd by a rando on the Fediverse last year some time when they posted a link to Scales Will Fall under the #music hashtag. That film clip is the most beautiful film clip ever made if you're asking me. I just love their wild energy. #music #ListeningClub
