Following the "one-man show" of 2021 debut LP Hits To Spare, Scottish Beat sensation The Poppermost re-emerge in full band form with a quartet of numbers recorded exclusively for Disques Rogue/Rogue Records (France).

The Poppermost present a swinging slab of Joe Kane (Dr. Cosmo's Tape Lab, The Owsley Sunshine) penned and produced nuggets recorded live in one single day in Glasgow's Fabbest garden shed. The group dynamically delivers with the foolproof sounds of Rickenbacker, Hofner, Gretsch, and Ludwig instruments.

From the piano/harp R n B-eat of lead track "Carry On Swinging" (via a pair of Merseypop boppers) to the dark harmony-jangle of wild card "A Talent for Loving", this is a new phase Poppermost release.

lyrics

I can't afford to buy a block of cheese
If I please
This financial climate's
got me in a squeeze, oh b' jeez!
It's a cost of living crisis
A super slippy slope
Can't even scrape enough to buy a rope

Can't spend another penny
on the electricity
The gas man's really got it in for me
It's plain to see
It's a cost of living crisis
And I'm going out me head
If it gets worse then I'd be better dead

Don't think I can handle
all the stress
I confess
It feels like everything is such a mess
More or less
In a cost of living crisis
They'll try to screw you down
Please pull me out before I start to drown

Oh no, I'm poor and getting poorer
Teabags, milk and sugar
Peasant in a land of plenty
And I just can't take no more

I can't afford to make a cup of tea
Woe is me
I'm pumped by income tax and VAT
I decree
It's a cost of living crisis
And that's just what you get
If you think it's bad
you ain't seen nothing yet

How Are You Coping With This Century?
by Novelty Island

supported by 6 fans who also own “Teabags Milk `n` Sugar”

I could leave it here. ‘How Are You Coping With This Century’ is my choice for best album of 2021. This is my subjective view of course, but you’d be wrong to discount it. There’s surreal stories, delicious 1960’s melodies and harmonies, jangle pop, ace musicianship, faux country & western, all wrapped up in McCartney-led Beatles vibes. I can’t see where Tom & Co. put a foot wrong here. It’s a wonderful piece of pop magic. Mark G
