Manchester underground music icon HARRY STAFFORD (frontman/founder of INCA BABIES) and North Carolina-based trash blues guitarist MARCO BUTCHER present their new single ‘Walk Among The Spectres’, following the resounding triumph of 2021’s ‘Bone Architecture’ LP. This is a cool piece of walking blues, with percussive Hammond organ and Butcher’s laconic backbeat. Their forthcoming album We Are The Perilous Men is out this autumn via Black Lagoon Records.

The video is fitting for this song, which is about an old friend who is fondly remembered. Our hero travels across town to put an electric piano-keyboard on his grave, discovering his own fragile mortality along the way. Directed by Stafford, this video was filmed in an expansive cemetery in South Manchester, which dates back to 1700 and was used throughout the Victorian era. Now a public park, people are invited to wander among the tombstones… to literally Walk among the Spectres.

Shit happens: some good, some bad. Feather Trade, who grabbed our attention when supporting Benefits in York back in February, were scheduled to support The Mission on May 26th. As fate would have it, the night’s scheduling with an early curfew meant they got dropped from the lineup, although their regular drummer is now occupying the stool for Hussey and co. How does stuff like that even happen? But when life gives you lemons, Feather Trade book a run of shows instead.

If you’re in the vicinity of any of these places, we’d very much recommend going.
