RECORD OF THE WEEK

I wanted to re-share our look at the 2019 album from Moron Police, A Boat on the Sea.

What started in my head as a bit of a novelty record has moved very quickly into my heart and is deserving of a spot in a list of my favourite records we've covered on the show so here's a rerun of that conversation I had with now 3rd chair of the show...Leon Bateman.

Rob is joined today by new regular guest, Leon Bateman to discuss the 2019 prog/rock/pop/synthy??? album from Moron Police, A Boat on the Sea. 

It's really difficult to find the words to describe this completely unique album so please forgive our mindless musings. Hopefully our enthusiasm will compensate for a complete lack of critical understanding on just what is happening on this record. Like the record, this episode goes all over the place so strap in and enjoy the ride.
