Previous album THE LIBRARY BOOK OF THE WORLD (2007) by Danbert Nobacon and the Pine Valley Cosmonauts on the venerable Bloodshot Records of Chicago. A couple of tracks from the record are featured on the music player here. Also a couple of live in Leeds performances of songs which feature on the album with The Shifting Sand band.



The LIBRARY BOOK OF THE WORLD features the navigational and storm-riding savvy of a crew of mekons/wacobrothers/executioners' songs outlaws: with Captain Jon Langford on telescope, guitars and compass; first mate John Rice on any and every instrument that has ever been held together by strings, and those fashioned from the ships' rigging in times of emergency; Al Doughty on 'take a walk on the starboard side' bass guitar; Dan Massey on "they thought he was a monster but he was a king" drums keeping us upright; and Pat Brennan with the piano keys to lost kingdoms; whilst I strum, holler and attempt to fashion the map from the sea-drenched pages of libraries long since thrown overboard.



. Sounds like the shifting sand getting in your shoes and it becomes hard to stand still. The music is off kilter, off balance, sliding around on deck, sea legs giving way, storm movin’ in. We don’t know which way the ship is headed or how many times it’s been back and forth, or if we are cast adrift and forever lost in the mists of Atlanticana, somewhere fatally short of land.
