lyrics
when your mama made her mind up
your parts should be combined,
did she ask herself whether that was kind?
(fingers in the viscera; jelly on her skin)
from haruspex or sonographer ask what was coming?
run to Delphi, mothers —
what a thing to be —
setting rolling all these stones
involuntarily
run to Delphi, mothers —
what a thing you do —
weeping to release someone
who surely will weep too

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
UK singer-songwriter Alex Pester perfects his homespun baroque pop on an vast, largely home-recorded LP that finds elegance in simplicity. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 3, 2021
An amazing meditation on heartbreak with vocals that cut deep and give you chills. I saw her in Portland, Maine, with Clever Girls and Plains, and she is one of those rare artists who can convey the same feeling and brilliance, live and in the studio. Definitely one of the best releases this year! Nate Thorne
