The Nightingales return with âThe Awful Truthâ, a modern mutant music hall interpretation of the dayâs news, a haunting jolt into realism narrated with all the angst of an insistent, slightly dishevelled late-night newscaster. Following the widely celebrated Stewart Lee-narrated King Rocker film in 2020, the curtain has finally been raised on the magic of the âlong serving punk/alternative rock volunteerâ (The Quietus). As pertinent as ever, The Nightingales release a poignant tirade on modern times heralded, quite rightly, as âThe Awful Truthâ. Opening cut, âThe New Emperorâs New Clothesâ is an upbeat immersive eruption with a thumping percussive piano holding proceedings in order; think the Velvets meet Fairport Convention in a crowded boozer, still waiting for their man. âSame Old Riffâ recalls Bowieâs âQueen Bitchâ rekindling the class war struggles and throwing sharp focus on the national unrest in the summer of 2024. Robert Lloydâs acidic one-liners trace the collapse of modern society, retaining the harmonious warble of a veteran pub crooner infected with the growl and grouse of The Fall, Nick Cave and at times Beefheart reincarnated. In the early 80s they enjoyed cult status as darlings of the credible music scene and were championed by John Peel, who said of them â âTheir performances will serve to confirm their excellence when we are far enough distanced from the 1980âs to look at the period rationally and other, infinitely better known, bands stand revealed as charlatans.â Their time has indeed come. The Nightingales are Robert Lloyd, Andreas Schmid (Faust) on bass, Fliss Kitson (Violet Violet) on drums and guitarist, James Smith (Damo Suzuki).
