Upbeat and highly infectious, they sing about relationships hassles, the beauty of Autumn, lovable liars, and hairstyles that were not a particularly good idea.

My new Cords T-shirt and CD on my knee. I’m on the bus on the way home.

Thanks for sharing this, and for the learned explanation of what a Tulpa is. You should be on Radio 4.

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.

English Roundabouts

They’re making the roundabouts great again
by painting the flag of St George
to keep our circular road systems safe
from the dark, satanic hordes.

What do they want? Patriotic junctions!
When do they want them? Before it’s too late.
Good old-fashioned English roundabouts,
as decreed by Alfred the Great.

Behold the sacred intersection,
this blessed plot, this septic isle.
English roundabouts for English people,
draped in red and white and bile.

St George is cross, as well he may be –
whipped-up hate, he’s seen before.
Give way to the right, the road signs rage,
and the far right most of all.

It was such a joy to be in session with The Catenary Wires for the Riley & Coe show on @6music.bsky.social last night. Loved the Maida Vale studios.

We played four songs and had a chat with @gidcoe.bsky.social.

Their shared vocals lead the way on this retro-sounding slice of jangling pop, made by cherished analogue instruments. It is a sad song that can cheer one up for sure.
