Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The world continues to throw up intriguing mysteries. The birth of language, the secrets of the great pyramids, why the worst looking politicians keep all the sex scandals for themselves (and whether there are indeed are any good looking politicians) and why a two-dimensional band like Turin Brakes can siphon off popular acclaim like it’s on tap while consistently creative acoustic-alchemists Shack remain parched with limited access to the watering hole.
The world continues to throw up intriguing mysteries. The birth of language, the secrets of the great pyramids, why the worst looking politicians keep all the sex scandals for themselves (and whether there are indeed are any good looking politicians) and why a two-dimensional band like Turin Brakes can siphon off popular acclaim like it’s on tap while consistently creative acoustic-alchemists Shack remain parched with limited access to the watering hole.
18 years into a practically mythical career and scouse siblings Mick and John Head are arguably laying down some of their finest music, making up for a distinct lack of peaks on 2003’s muted Here’s Tom With the Weather.
"Tie Me Down" opens the album, waltzing daintily and attaining with so little effort the grainy portrait of Albion that Pete Doherty would give a double page spread in The Sun for. "Shelly Brown" is perfectly lonely folk psychedelia like Nick Drake lighting joss sticks with the Beta Band, and "Black & White" and "Miles Away" point out where a new wave of Liverpudlian pups like The Coral and The Zutons are getting their ideas from. In "Cup Of Tea" Mick Head commits possibly one of the great English love lyrics to tape: "My cup of tea doesn’t taste the same when she’s with me". They’re the third leg of a North-West psychedelic-pop tripod with the more lauded La’s and Stone Roses, their only crime being their surprising longevity. --James Berry
Description
'The Corner Of Miles And Gil' is the first album by Liverpudlian legends Shack on Noel Gallagher's Sour Mash label. Considered by many to be one of the forerunners of the 'Cosmic Scouse' movement that has spawned bands such as The Coral and The Zutons, this album finds the head brothers in fine form, mixing Love-esque melodies with deft lyrical touches and lush orchestration. Includes the single 'Cup Of Tea'.
