Two For Tuesday - Melvin Burch & pizza boy

This post basically wrote itself, or to be more precise, my brother Lyle wrote it for me. This weekend saw the release of two very different albums by artists that I only just found out were the same person. I've listened to " Unless.. " a handful of times now and it's as good as anything commercially out. Many of the tracks would be right at home on BBC 6 Music . If I had to liken it to anything I'd go with Young Fathers with a sprinkle of Andre 3000 . Stand out track whether intentional or not is " America ". I imagine it was difficult not penning something as compelling and earnest in the austere climate we're currently living in. Lyrics to the song can be found at the end of this post. Coincidentally there's been much tweeted this weekend by artists on the act of rating albums on the day of their release. As I've only heard " bad Sunday " the once, and with it being pizza boy's final album, it would be fatuous of me...
