Robert Wyatt – Rock Bottom

Only 1 left in stock

$25.00

The six songs of Rock Bottom were a new kind of music for Wyatt: very slow, exquisitely deliberate. (It’s easy to hear echoes of the album in latter-day Radiohead, among others.) The magnificent “Sea Song” is the most immediately gripping piece here, but everything has peculiar little joys that take their time emerging. “Alifib” is an aphasic love song to his partner Alfreda Benge (they were married the day the album was released); “Alife” brings her in to offer an affectionate rebuke. And Wyatt effectively ducks out of his own album a few minutes before it ends: “Little Red Robin Hood Hit the Road” concludes with a peculiar three-minute recitative by Ivor Cutler.
