Following the unexpected success of The Bevis Frond's debut, 1987's InchInner MarshlandInch originally was recorded via the home studio four-track portastudio set up that was used for the debut album in Walthamstow, UK. Recorded over 12 months, InchInner MarshlandInch features the anglophile's dreamscape of InchTermination Station GreyInch, the epic psych-blues-rock rave up of InchI've Got Eyes in the Back of My HeadInch and so much more, with Nick Saloman's guitar always leading the way. A labour of love and fiercely independent, his prolific output has seen as many releases in as many years, an uncompromising vision all under his own tag Woronzow. Hailed as Incha Hendrix devotee ever bit as tough and contemporary as the serrated guitar chorales of Sonic Youth and PixiesInch by Rolling Stone's David Fricke, his immense psych-stoner-rock has seen him become a cult figure in his own right. The Bevis Frond's legion of loyal fans includes Teenage Fanclub, Dinosaur Jr and Mary Lou Lord, who have all covered his music. Album Tracks 1. Cries from the Inner Marshland 2. Termination Station Grey 3. Window Eye 4. Once More 5. Defoliation Part One 6. Reflections in a Tall Mirror 7. Hey Mr Undecided 8. I've Got Eyes in the Back of My Head 9. Minsmere Sphagnum 10. Medieval Sienese Acid Blues 11. Defoliation Part Two 12. Walking in the Lady's Garden 13. Slave 14. Running at the Sun 15. Parapsynquiry 16. The Great Mistake 17. Solid Vimto

Digitally remastered edition of the 15th album from the British indie psych outfit. When the sleeve of The Bevis Frond's Son Of Walter arrived circa 1996 it was a mystery. The title is scratched on a window overlooking an Islington block of flats, the sunset is distorted. Today it would be the view from a banging grime pirate radio station. Back then, it was one man locked in his bedroom with too many ideas and too many instruments (and a Portastudio). InchDon't ask why, but for this album I decided to make the long-awaited(?) return to the style of the first few BF records. So it's back to the home recording facilities, and back to being the only person involved. So it's definitely worse than the recent stuff. (Feel free to disagree),Inch Frond mainman and, indeed the only Frond left standing on this opus, reasoned on the sleevenotes. So, what is it all about? The trademark folk strum with multi-harmonies is there. There's a slight nod to a country-ish CSN&Y thing, but that's only for four bars. Who remembers that when there is the colossal 'Garden Aeroplane Trap', a proper wig out at 12 minutes 20. Elsewhere we have the kind of timeless psyche pop that people with ears really love, two songs that namecheck Elvis and a song about a dead man on a train. That was London in the late '90s. Hey, rock 'n' roll. Album Tracks 1. Plastic Elvis 2. Beautiful Sister 3. Red Hair 4. You Saw Me Coming (But You Won't See Me Go) 5. Barking or False Point Blues 6. Forgiven 7. All Hope Is Gone with You Away 8. Dead Man Sitting on a Train 9. It's Not Like You 10. Garden Aeroplane Trap 11. Drivenaway 12. Raining on TV 13. Requiem 14. Winner's Way 15. Goodnight from the Band
