Bobby West –
All My Years (single)
Catalogue# WPC1003
1) All My Years (3.36)
Release Date:
27.11.2020 (Digital Download)
Info:
The song came about after my writing partner showed me a rough demo he’d made in our studio — just some chords on the Hammond organ with a glockenspiel melody over the top.
My initial thoughts were that it sounded like a lullaby, and that it would fit with a poem I had recently written for my girlfriend (apologising to her for being a miserable git).
It was one of the earliest ideas we actualised in this project, so it has been central to creating the sound of everything else we’ve done since.

Quotes:
” ‘We Are The Lotts‘ is a garage rush full of bollocks, as is ‘I Don’t‘, another rush of gutter garage punk that ends abruptly. No fucking about with guitar solos here. ‘Dumb‘ rolls on through with excitement and you can feel the sweat of a small venue (don’t make me cry) running down your isolation beaten speakers.
‘Preacher Man‘ is more melodic and gives off a hint of what these lads are capable of when the starting gun is fired to let us back into our beloved venues. The only slow down for an out there ‘Mouth‘ which shows a psychedelic side courtesy of the great production, which is simple yet hard hitting. A weird little number which evokes the spirit of The Velvets.
A cracking debut from a band that mean it. No thrills, no nonsense garage from a bunch of energetic firebrands who are here to fuck shit up! ”

Quotes:
” ‘As The Morning Crept In‘ sashays beneath heavy moonlight with a midnight hour accompaniment of light keys and comforting sax. Heavy on charm and foreboding melancholy, this one is a good fit for the late night lone-rangers out there. ”
