BIMINI TWIST

Limited LP version with download card. After Young Marble Giantss breakup, singer Alison Statton started Weekend with Spike and Simon Booth, a project which saw chart success and the birth of a nouveau-retro style as individualistic as YMGs, one later co-opted by lesser acts. Weekend, too, split after their debut album. Despite Weekend having become Alisons second big act, Rough Trade passed on her next project with Spike. Vinyl Japan stepped in to release the duos debut, Tidal Blues and other releases followed, but as real life, jobs, and children beckoned, both Alison and Spike stepped away from music for more than twenty years. Their return is unexpected. Bimini Twist is the work of the two alone. Apart from some vocal tracking in a local studio to best capture Alisons still wondrous voice - everything was recorded in their homes, much of it quot;live,quot; and these new songs show the duos charm and diversity, featuring Alisons most personal lyrics and Spikes peculiar musical genius.
