RELEASE DATE
8/24/2018
From 1980 through 1995,
Spike
was in several Cardiff combos --
Table Table
,
The Gist
,
Bomb And Dagger
, and
The Pepper Trees
-- which shared one thing, the startlingly original singer named
Debbie Pritchard
. Debbie's oddly innocent vocal style is reminiscent of
The Marine Girls
(another band with a
Young Marble Giants
connection!) yet with the feminist impulse of
The Raincoats
and a rhythmic sensibility rooted in South American and African musical styles. As a body of work, it's gloriously unique, and had they had any budget, promotion and an actual label behind them, well . . . this wouldn't need to be explained to you now, would it?
Always Sunshine, Always Rain
collects twenty recordings they made in three different bands and during loose recording sessions. Eighteen have never seen meaningful release, and the two that have -- "No Real Place", from a 7" single, and "Strike", from a miner's benefit compilation, likely never found their way past Cardiff city borders. "Seaport Town" was later revisited by
Alison Statton
and Spike, and "Assured Energy" appeared on The Gist's archival album
Holding Pattern
(PICI 009CD/LP, 2017) in vastly different form.
Always Sunshine, Always Rain
is organized in roughly chronological order, with tracks from Table Table, Bomb And Dagger, and The Pepper Trees. Includes a booklet of lyrics and a timeline of Spike and Debbie's musical activities. Edition of 500.
