Originally released in 2023. This album is proof you can make a tripped out, psyche folk, pop record, that sounds like something unearthed by Andy Votel or Johnny Trunk, in a draughty garage in deepest, darkest Leeds in 2010. It shows that drive, inspiration and an unquenchable desire to create something original, can produce an album, with virtually no money and no backing, but still sounds just as good as anything that came out of a studio in the late '60s. Love Of The Brave's self-titled slice of swirling Brit-folk is a labor of belief, the believers in this case being ATA Records label boss, and bassist, Neil Innes and his band mate, vocalist Fuzzy Jones. This was the music being made at ATA Records studio before they were even really a label, now, of course, well respected for their funk, jazz and library music output. Inspired by the work of artists as diverse as: Pentangle, Rotary Connection, Richie Havens, the Kinks, David Bowie, and Joni Mitchell, they embarked on a brutal nine months of recording. Some of the pool of players included on this album became ATA regulars, playing extensively on the some of the label's most recent recordings. These include drummer Joost Hendrickx (the Sorcerers), guitarist Chris Dawkins, and Tony Burkill (Work Money Death) on sax. The unswerving strive for perfection in the studio has become synonymous with ATA, and Love Of The Brave is where it all started, the first project recorded in the studio.
