What do you get when you mix Franz Liszt, Bille Holiday, and the sound of a cornered drum machine fighting it’s way out of a blind alley. You get the new LP from Venetian Snares “My Love is A Bulldozer”. Three tracks on this week’s programme alongside a host of new tunes from such as Martin Carthy, Trans AM and The Pheremoans and the band with possibly the greatest name in the history of recorded time Disintrested Handjob who are unlikely to be appearing on Jools Holland anytime soon.There is no greater recommendation than that.
