Hyacinth Girl, Smugness and A Nod From A Rock Star
A thrill coursed through the plush, yet tastful, environs of the ANBAD HQ yesterday, as news arrived of Tom Robinson, BBC 6Music DJ, naming ANBAD as his Website of the Week. As you can expect, much whooping and jigging with delight followed. So if today’s post is buried beneath a thick, gloopy layer of smugness, please accept my apologies.

Their newest album, Farm, 4.21 gigawatts' me right back to the days of first learning how to ollie by holding on to the back of the couch (Jr blaring in the background). J's solos are a force as always — distorted and crunchy and tendon tight. Barlow and Murph bring the expected awesomeness. I just listen to this album and...
