PAL 024EP

"Get on Jolly gets up on in you with words adapted from a classic work of Indian poetry -- Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), whose writing eventually won him the Nobel Prize. Whether the music inspired the lyrics or the lyrics led to the music is unclear, as well as unimportant. Bonny sings in an introverted, prayerful tone, lending a sacred air to the effort. The Marquis provides his own brand of holy accompaniment with a glittering, swaying, wandering backdrop of guitar sounds. Vinyl copies of this record haven't been available since 2008; the release of the Marquis and Bonny's second EP Solemns provided the impetus to bring this back from purgatory."

"It's been a long road through time and other things from Get On Jolly to Solemns, but suffice to say, thirteen and some increasingly endless years later, the Bonnie 'Prince' and the Marquis de Tren have not only sat down for another royal audience with each other, but have also several reports from their sessions to share with all of us. That their paths managed to converge after all this long was both incredible and yet inevitable -- after all, the 'Prince' had over the years received compliments about Get On Jolly in the oddest places. And they were the oddest compliments, at that. It led him to wonder. Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, the Marquis sat in front of his easel, rending the world as he saw fit. With every year that passed, his admiration of Jolly EP had only grown. Would it surprise anyone to know that the missive that restarted it all bore the MdT seal? Or that the correspondence, once followed upon, was nonetheless burned in Bonny's hearth by night's end? Dream on, suckers."
