  • Description

    Historian and writer Joad R Wren recruits friends and family in The Unattached for this song cycle dealing with loss, grief and loneliness, recounting the tales of lost dogs both real, metaphoric and mythic.

    Collaborators on the record include Joad's sister Gwenifer Raymond, uncle Neil White, and daughter Celia, along with Darren Hayman, Ian Button, John McGrath and Holly Rogers.



    The songs are at once lush, sensitive, bleak and unflinching - there's a similar feeling to something like Lou Reed's Berlin, or the darker moments of Roy Harper.



    The LP comes with a 20 page booklet of lyrics and booklet of lyrics and art.
