Gareth Liddiard - Strange Tourist (Bone Coloured Vinyl)

Joyful Noise Recordings - JNR451LP-C2

One of the most acclaimed songwriters of the 21st century via his work with Tropical Fuck Storm and The Drones, Gareth Liddiard's 2010 solo album Strange Tourist gets a much-deserved reissue via Joyful Noise Recordings on August 25th, 2023. While Liddiard's recent output with Tropical Fuck Storm takes a sonically immersive, everything plus an extra kitchen sink approach to art-punk, the music on Strange Tourist is a more direct, lyrical affair. With just a guitar for accompaniment, Liddiard's stories of tightrope walkers, down-and-outers, suicidal Japanese salarymen, and suburban radicals come alive like no one else's could. Strange Tourist is an uncompromising narrative work that demands the listener's full attention and more than rewards them for their effort.
