Trojan Horse - The World Turned Upside Down
SKU
23-BEM 007
Trojan Horse are a young, noisy, modern progressive rock band, but they are modern not in the 'crunchy/metallic' sense, but more in the post punk sense, ala Knifeworld.
In fact, even though they don't sound a damn thing like Knifeworld, it's probably a reasonable bet that if you like Knifeworld, you'll like these guys, as Chloe and Kavus both make guest appearances here. Additionally, it comes in a very handsome, 10 panel 'maltese cross' digipak.

"This artefact was devised, written and recorded over a period of approximately three years between late 2010 and very early 2014.
It was conceived on a nourishing diet of Robert Wyatt ‘Rock Bottom’, Soft Machine ‘Volume 2’, a new found appreciation of dub reggae, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Elliott Smith, Earth Wind & Fire ‘I Am’, Parenthood, Tears For Fears ‘Songs From The Big Chair’, Cardiacs, and social injustice. It was finally ‘finessed’ with a sprinkling of XTC’s ‘Black Sea’, sporadic touring with exceptional friends, enlivened by the seminal wood carving image for the cover of the 1646 revolutionary pamphlet ‘World Turned Upside Down’ by T.J., and lives lived under the foul austerity policies of an unwanted government."
