About this product

An album about the Metropolis, the naked city, the urban sprawl and the need to get back to the ripped back streets when you're far away. If there are a million stories in the naked city, here are a few to keep you warm. Mixed and engineered by Ding Archer (The Fall, PJ Harvey) at his 6Db Studio in Salford, this album was co-produced by Archer and Harry Stafford. Led by Harry Stafford, best known as founder, guitarist and vocalist of post-punk gothic rockers Inca Babies, the band's core includes drummer Rob Haynes (The Membranes, Inca Babies), trumpeter Kevin Davy (Lamb, Cymande), guitarist Andy Mills, and Vincent O'Brien on Weisseborn slide guitar.. The new album 'Gothic Urban Blues' and debut solo album 'Guitar Shaped Hammers', released in December 2017, reflect a multitude of ideas around a driving yet lilting punk-piano blues. The idea was for Stafford to leave his noisy electric guitar behind - abandoning everything he held and cherished - to make some new music with a piano and a head full of ideas. The new album features a more defined sound of a band finding it's stride. The band is hereforth called Guitar Shaped Hammers to reflect this cohesion of musical unity - with more guitars from Vincent O'Brien, and an additional layered sonic blast from Nick Brown (The Membranes). With intense percussion from Rob Haynes and a truly masterful trumpet contribution from jazz supremo Kevin Davy, the result is very much the soundtrack of a basement radio station stumbling across a new genre they've tagged Gothic Urban Blues01. She Just Blew Me Away 02. Cruel Set of Shades 03. Gothic Urban Blues 04. Painted Ocean 05. Infinite Dust 06. Black Rain 07. Sideways Shuffle 08. Disappearing 09. Man in a bar 10. Into The storm

Harry Stafford - Guitar Shaped Hammers   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Harry Stafford the singer and guitarist of 80s post punk/Garage/blues outfit Inca Babies decided to explore his love of piano blues by abandoning everything he held and cherished to make some new music with a piano and a head full of ideas. Slowly, as is the nature of a project steered by passion, a sense of direction and aptitude began to manifest itself in the chiming blues of his piano and a heartfelt lament. With influences from Tom Waits, Diamanda Galas, Hoagy Carmichael and Nick Cave, it was a case of assimilating the spirit of his heroes to find his own voice. By 2016 he had gathered together a collection of songs - bar room ballads, funeral blues, end of the world piano dub, bebop mash-ups and punk jazz tales of melodrama and murder. This was to be the Album; 'Guitar Shaped Hammers' Along the way he had gathered together a bunch of musicians who shared his sense of drama and musical schizophrenia. Inca babies and Membranes drummer, Rob Haynes, Andrew Mills of ' Folk assassins' Acid Haystack and the shattered Villain, blues virtuoso Vincent O' Brien and Trumpet Maestro Kevin Davy (Osibisa, Lamb, Cymande), all made time to be part of this exciting project. With their input, and a wall of technology, other sounds and effects found a place in the mix. Tape loops and space echo appeared to allow the songs an inclination for Dub and a to sometimes create a reverb storm.1 Make me Almighty 2 The Glass Coast 3 Dagger 4 Guitar Shaped Hammers 5 Catastrophe 6 He Says Goodbye 7 Dark Before Four 8 Walking Down in The Shadow 9 House of Souls 10 Empty the Bones into the box 11 Three Wishes Blues 12 The Last Day of Jimmy Dance 13 The Lost Rhyming Poets Album Tracks 1.
