THE SAXOPHONES - No Time For Poetry - CD [NOV 7]

CD - housed in Mini LP pocket card CD case.

Still rooted in their characteristic smoky, faded glamour, The Saxophones' latest album No Time for Poetry expands the natural breeziness of 2023’s To Be A Cloud with a sense of angst and tension, to subtly question the current state of the world and their place within it. 
 
Husband-and-wife duo Alexi Erenkov and Alison Alderdice are augmented by their regular collaborator Richard Laws on bass, synthesizers and keyboards, as well as multi-instrumentalist Frank Maston who provided production support. 
 
Evocative imagery and themes define the album, whilst musically, the spectre of mid-period Leonard Cohen hangs over the songs. “That’s the biggest touchstone,” says Alexi, “the kind of dystopian songs he was writing with a satirical attitude helped set the darker political tone of this record.”
