Darren Hayman & The Secondary Modern - Losing My Glue EP
To tide you over until next month’s release of his latest solo (albeit with the backup of the venerable Secondary Modern) album, Essex Arms, here’s a four-track EP released last year around the same time as Pram Town. Pram Town was the first in a proposed conceptual trilogy of records about Essex, his (and my) home county and featured his ever present eagle-eyes and acerbic wit. This EP is a quite downbeat and restrained affair that nicely reflects the overall tone of Pram Town, that of the desperation of living in small-town Britain. Enough stalling, bring on Essex Arms!
