About this product
Fat White Family are back. The cult south-London band's long-gestated fourth album, Forgiveness Is Yours, has, like everything they've done but more so, pushed them to the limits not only of their creative talent, but of their health, their sanity, and their very existence. The external enemies have melted away - perhaps they were hallucinations all along. The Fat Whites' dirty war was only ever with themselves - a war for hearts and minds, their own as much as anyone's. A war whose primary objective, it turns out, was survival. To singer Lias Saoudi, the Fat Whites' resplendent new record, Forgiveness Is Yours, 'is about what happens when you run out of road' - the music you make when you're at the end of the line, your tether, the world. It's twelve tracks come on like a sideways state of the nation tirade, a bulletin of indignities chronicling times spinning wildly out of joint. We can only take Lias Saoudi at his word when he says, 'The overarching aesthetic themes at work here are honesty and survival.' Forgiveness Is Yours is a testament to the will to create even when catastrophes keep happening, when you've come out of the drug-fog long enough to realize that the damage is irreparable, all truces are fleeting, and the game was never worth the candle. The revolution has turned on itself; the movement is devouring it's offspring; the drugs definitively did not work. Everything is broken, everything is brilliant. Burned clear, blasted free of illusions, Forgiveness Is Yours is a quintessence of disenchantment and the bittersweet fruit of vicious, sinister times. Let's enjoy it while we can - there's nothing like it around.

![Clarence B Thunborg - Reflections - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/32e1ec72-4981-4e2c-a3ac-90da075657e2.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
With his musical roots deep in Americana as well as in the bluesy surroundings of roots rock, Clarence B Thunborg takes an approach in the album InchReflectionsInch, released via Melodic Passion Records in collaboration with Sound Pollution Distribution. Clarence B Thunborg has been a bass player and singer in various bands since the late 1970s, but is now focusing on a solo career based out of his home in California. From there, his RV will take him out on tour along the American coast and inland, with a repertoire that comes predominantly from the new record InchReflectionsInch. Alone or with local musicians, his bluesy rock is slated to find a home in rock clubs along the American West Coast. But with a past in the Stockholm region, it also means some commuting to Sweden, where InchReflectionsInch recorded. It was also in the home country that contact was made with the Swedish record company Melodic Passion Records, run by Christian Liljegren (Narnia, Flames of Fire, etc.).One can discern certain musical features in the same spirit as greats such as Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, Rick Springfield, Peter Gabriel and even the Rolling Stones, so it is not for nothing that these predecessors have been mentioned when someone has described Thunborg's music. In any case, it's about well-produced roots rock with Americana influences and lyrics that hover over the borderland between love and heartbreak.

Fat White Family's first album Champagne Holocaust was released on April 1, 2013; an iconoclastic debut, a freakshow which reminded that, as with Throbbing Gristle/The Gun Club/Butthole Surfers/Jane's Addiction before them, the outside is the only viable place from which to make true art. America beckoned, and all the temptations and troubles that go with the touring life. The carousel began to spin. When second album Songs For Our Mothers arrived in January 2016, the band were running on fumes. Incarcerated in a fiscal Gulag, every single member had developed serious problems with alcohol and/or hard drugs; most were homeless. They were just about held together by singer Lias Saoudi who had led, Rommel-like, from day one. Saoudi's songwriting partner and band director Saul Adamczewski had been jettisoned from the band. Salvation came via the intervention of Domino, who signed the band and backed their frontman's stratagem to move them away from temptation. In a sprawling suburb in the North of England they established Champzone studios and, bloodied but not unbowed, they hunkered down. The collective mission statement to make a pop record, something to distance the band from the many Fat Whites imitators who had formed in their wake. Lias' lyrical irony, previously adopted as a protective layer against insecurity and criticism, was discarded in favour of a forensic examination of the self, what the frontman describes as Incha genuine mapping out of my innermost psychological landscape, without ever patronising the listener, which for me is the lowliest crime in lyricism.Inch Nathan Saoudi, Lias' keyboard playing brother, honed his own songwriting contributions, and Adamczewski returned from both rehab and time working with his other band Insecure Men - freed from the past burdens of musically carrying the project, he sank his teeth in as producer-arranger.
