chumbawamba - a singsong and a scrap


here are some fuckin sweet chumbawamba folk tunes. i remember having a hard time finding this one, so here it is. it's an old timey acoustic album, hatin on war, religion, capitalism, etc. here's the press release:

This new, mainly acoustic Chumbawamba album is, for the first time, a collection of songs, pure and simple. Songs with a radical voice, songs with those same old same old Chumbawamba four-part harmonies and catchy choruses, but songs nevertheless without drumloops or samples, without backwards cymbals or synth sequencers. It won't fit neatly into any categories, since it stands with its eight legs in different camps. Traditional English music, `unplugged' pop, choral secular music, jangly acoustic singalongs... oh! Just sling a few barely related words together to create categories that sound vaguely familiar, and there you'll have it.

right, so this is floating around all over the place, but this is highest bitrate rip (VBR 208 kbps avg) i could find.

these guys are awesome, and i would have grabbed this shit up if there were a vinyl release. so buy a CD, or better yet, find out when they're coming to your town and make sure they've got some gas to get the next show.
