If you are reading this on Bandcamp Friday you may want to briefly interrupt your hectic ordering schedule to check out "Echoes/ Anam Cara" by Falmouth's own Blind Yeo.
The album came out last year and was created by sticking two earlier EPs together. It is very good record but they are even better live, as I discovered when I saw them down at the Shacklewell Arms earlier in the week.
There are hints of Steve Hillage on the record; live they go full Cornish pixies on ecstasy. Home-made costumes and lizard masks, bongos and swanee whistles, band members whirling like dervishes in the mosh pit (and falling over in a non-dervish manner), all held together by a great rhythm section. They would be an asset to any 1970s free festival, or anywhere else for that matter. Go and see them if they pass through your town.
"Echoes: Remember" - Blind Yeo
Blind Yeo have a brand new single out, also on Bandcamp. Here is the video.

ReplyDeleteCool man. Like that
ReplyDeleteNicely trippy, thanks Ernie.
ReplyDeleteFalmouth eh? I once (almost) bumped into Dick Emery coming off the pier there circa 1973. If Blind Yeo ever come up here for a gig I'll give 'em a go.
ReplyDeleteWere you awful? Did he like you?
