Corduroy legend holds that having recorded the three
'classic' albums for Acid
Jazz Records, our illustrious heroes parted with said company
and released a further two albums on a 'major' record label, investigating
themes, techniques and technologies previously unexplored; this period of the
band’s brave journey became known as the 'psy-fi -years'.
Exhausted, Corduroy disbanded shortly after.
Prophecy foretold that, two decades later, the
group would reform and reunite with Acid Jazz; and furthermore that the fabled
'psy-fi' recordings would be compiled by the sister label,
Well Suspect Records,
into a twelve track, sky-blue-vinyl collection, featuring choice tracks from
the major albums, singles and B-sides. This limited edition selection is
entitled
Winky Wagon.
Experimenting with exotic eastern flavours, easy-soul, yacht-pop, Brit-beats
and amped-up funk, the compilation captures Corduroy expanding their signature
thematic instrumental palette with melodic, irresistible and beautifully
crafted songs, featuring the 'yaught-pop-easy-soul' ear-worm (I Know Where The) Good Times (Have Gone).
London dates include two nights at 100 Club,
27th Dec, &
28th Dec
