Steve Hogarth & Richard Barbieri - Not The Weapon But The Hand



A short, but beautifully composed album, the artistic flare extends to the sleeve, which takes the form of a miniature coffee table book. The songs are abstract, kitsch and laidback, distilling a melancholy and lethargic air across the album's eight songs. Excellent for lazy day background music, or for unwinding to after more hectic activities, it's the perfect complement to a book and beverage evening.
