Nightingales, The: The Awful Truth (Coloured Vinyl LP)

The Nightingales return with The Awful Truth, a modern mutant music hall interpretation of the day’s news, a haunting jolt into realism narrated with all the angst of an insistent, slightly dishevelled late-night newscaster. Following the widely celebrated Stewart Lee-narrated King Rocker film in 2020, the curtain has finally been raised on the magic of the “long serving punk/alternative rock volunteer” (The Quietus).

As pertinent as ever, The Nightingales release a poignant tirade on modern times heralded, quite rightly, as The Awful Truth.
