Joyful Noise US Vinilo y CD

Review: The Drones' frontman Gareth Liddiard struck out solo with Strange Tourist in 2010, recording a stripped back set of minimal, acoustic songs with Burke Reid which threw his songwriting into sharp relief with scant distractions. Reportedly throwing himself into the process by fervently absorbing written material, literature and internet anomalies and then channelling it all out into the resulting songs, the album's tense and confessional atmosphere speaks for itself. Now Joyful Noise are giving the record a proper double LP pressing to give this modern folk classic the release it deserves.
