Jon Langford is best known for the music he creates with the Mekons and the Waco Brothers, but he’s also gained increasing acclaim for his visual art over the past decade.
For this book, Langford has created a highly personal portrait of Wales, where he was born and raised.
The starting point was his long unobtainable album Skull Orchard. For the CD available exclusively with this book, Langford returned to those lost recordings and radically re-vised them, enlisting as his accomplices the Burlington Welsh Male Chorus, who contribute a unique warmth to the material.
Three new tracks have been added, making 18 in all.
