about

Imagine Richard Youngs as the junior member of a cabal of prolific and puritanical English musician-mystics, including The Fall's Mark E Smith, Van der Graaf Generator's Peter Hammill, Martin Carthy and The Clangers composer Vernon Elliot, and still his nature will elude you
Stewart Lee, Sunday Times.

released January 25, 2019

Dissident is a hallucination of a legendary lost Samizdat-style recording of the legendary lost Richard Youngs Band. It’s not clear to me that it is against anything in particular, and as such it is not literally dissident. In fact, I’m a little lost how or why it is dissident, save for being informed by the imagined provisional recordings of pre-Glasnost protest. Perhaps the wordless scratch vocals are voicing dissent, but I remember having fun. So much so, I couldn’t stop myself from fleshing out the rough nylon guitar songs to a full band arrangement, recorded in multiple spaces. Which is as far from the Samizdat spirit as you could care to go.

I love the playfulness and depth of this -- once it unfolds it captivates in the way it anticipates powerful chord resolutions that may or may not end up washed over, phased out, or disarmed by experimental flourishes. Inspired. Matt Cahill

Handshake to Tom Beech for this find, and a few more I'm sure. When I saw the Syd B. tag I rolled my eyes - but that gesture was a mistake after the first 30 seconds. This is such a beautiful mess, much like Syd. Dr. Beaf
