The Walthamstow guitar guru Nick Saloman is sixty this year and his 21st Bevis Frond album is an undimmed double cd set.
Fusing classic sixties rock and plangent pounding post-punk neo-psychedelia in a string of plaintive and psycho-geographically specific guitar-pop nuggets, it’s capped monumentally by an exemplary 45 minute modal jam.
File The Bevis Frond alongside Robyn Hitchcock and Julian Cope in the English acid-pop survivor nook and wonder how Saloman slipped the mass-acknowledgment net.
Buy this, and then 1991’s New River Head, and begin a late-blooming love affair.
