The Duckworth Lewis Method
Sticky Wickets
Divine Comedy Records
the divine comedy’s neil hannon together with thomas walsh delivers 12 beautifully eccentric, catchy songs on the always fascinating subject of cricket.
a brilliant concept album, touching on a huge variety of musical genres while exploring the beautiful game, from the raga influenced, orchestral psych-pop of 'boom afridi' & angular talking heads electro-funk of 'line & length' to the elo in a music hall styled lead track ‘it’s just not cricket’ (featuring legendary tms commentator henry ‘blowers’ blofeld). other special guests include david ‘bumble’ lloyd, daniel radcliffe, matt berry & stephen fry. a wonderful, whimsical collection, released just in time for the ashes & a glorious summer of cricket.
