Richard Dawson - Nothing Important
Dawson at his most abrasive.
This reminds me of the Trumpton theme, if played by someone who has really had enough of your shit.

Richard Dawson - 2020
Richard Dawson is one of those people who I listen to and have no idea how they do any of it: his process, his lyrics, his playing style...none of it.
Because I've spent so much time playing the last couple of albums, I've neglected the earlier ones. I'd forgotten how good this is.
Richard Dawson - The Ruby Cord
The first track on this album, The Hermit, clocks in at a mere 41 minutes and covers the first two sides. It’s a stunning piece of work, hitting prog, folk, jazz, experimental and psych bases as it goes along. The phrasing of the “….rainbows” refrain in the second part is so clever. If I was a jazz player, I’d cover the fuck out of this. Dawson made a video for this – well he fucking would, wouldn’t he.
Dawson has a fascinating lyrical and melodic style and on this album he applies these to a dismal view of mankind’s future, whilst remaining oblique enough to not be a Warhammer-y embarrassment.
The BBC Radio 3 Late Junction At home with Richard Dawson is worth checking out.
