Album of the week: Smile from Skeletons on Impossible Ark Records.
Welcome to another round the world music adventure with a number of album launches, local gigs a plenty, a listener request, sacred music and an album of the week that comes from Skeletons, a made up band, an invention from the creative genius of Benedic Lamdin. On the subject of the band he says, "I kid you not, it doesn't exist, these musicians never stood in the studio together, they just passed through my house or left some scraps of sound behind after sessions...like a guy, pieced together and ready for the bonfire." Hope you hear something you enjoy.
