Sheffield band Eccentronic Research Council follow up their 2012 collaboration with British Actress Maxine Peake (Shameless, Silk, Red Riding) with a second full length joint curiousity titled Magpie Billy & The Egg That Yolked (A Study Of The Northern Ape In Love). On the opening track Peake's crisp, deadpan voice introduces the album's protagonist, motorcycle enthusiast "Magpie Billy" as a "75-year-old, twelve-pint, beer-deep, statue on legs, engine between thighs-type of guy". From there onwards we're pulled into a strange world of Northern English psychedelia, shiny synthesizers that spark with the futurism of Sheffield's electronic heritage, inventive passages of varied musical exploration and a narrative of darkly comedic poeticism. A highly enigmatic record sure to ensnare anyone in its curious world.
