Download Ralfe Band – Cold Chicago Morning
Ralfe Band is Oliver Ralfe. He’s been a busy ol’ fella, what with releasing an album, touring constantly and opening the William’s Green Stage at Glastonbury this very Friday. ‘Cold Chicago Morning’ is taken from last year’s third album Son Be Wise, where he also toured with the likes of I Am Kloot and Young Knives, along with doing the soundtrack to Mighty Boosh director Paul King’s debut film ‘Bunny and the Bull’. And this song is very much in the same vain as that beautiful wonkiness accompanying said wonky film. It’s a nightmarish piece of up-right piano sing-a-long with slices of accordion that all comes crashing down into a wooden pile on the floor. Great stuff!
