Parlour Flames - Parlour Flames

2013 debut album from this British band featuring ex-Oasis guitarist, Bonehead (AKA Paul Arthurs) and Manchester-based musician and poet, Vinny Peculiar (AKA Alan Wilkes). Parlour Flames is Bonehead's first album release since leaving Oasis in 1999. Described as "an eclectic mix of guitar-based pop with a psychedelic twist", the album is lyrically engaging and melodic and, with Vinny's quirky, touching and sometimes funny lyrics, it is full of songs that tell their own, occasionally twisted, stories. Bonehead's orchestral guitars provide the sonic glue courtesy of the e-bow, which features on several tracks. The album features guest musicians Che Beresford (Badly Drawn Boy) on drums and percussion, Semay Woo on cellos, Anna Zweck (Samson & Delilah) on flute and backing vocals and Bob Marsh (Badly Drawn Boy, I Am Kloot) on trumpets and flugelhorn.
