Bang goes what was supposed to be a quiet year for Fruits de Mer (maybe we can calm things down a bit in 2022? The problems associated with getting anything pressed on vinyl are certainly helping)

'Never Mind The Pollock' takes a quick trip round a year's worth of releases - from Italian art rock to sixties summer of love, taking in tributes to the 70s motorik sound and a Filipino guitar legend along the way, plus some cracking new examples of psychedelic rock.

The CD will go out to a few DJs (mainly the BBC variety) in the hope they will pick up on a few tracks that might have slipped between the grooves during the year

...and maybe a few more copies will escape into the hands of new recruits to the joys of FdM in a thinly-disguised attempt to persuade them to part with more cash.
