MORE ABOUT GRANFALLOON

"Granfalloon - what's not to love about that?!" - Chris Hawkins, 6 Music

Calendar, is the fourth album from Granfalloon (AKA Richard Lomax); a double (triple potentially) album being released in series, the first volume released in Autumn 2022.

It continues the work of the previous album, Positive Songs, to focus on traditional songwriting, and not quite traditional storytelling; to chisel out small, beautiful moments, filtered through the Granfalloon surrealist lens.

That lens covers subject matter as diverse as; relationships by way of a bee trapped in a tupperware box (Bee on a String), meta-narrative apology songs (Please Write Responsibly), the insidious nature of Capitalism’s aim to be pretend to be your friend (Mr Simm’s Olde Sweet Shoppe), and a maths professor who can only express his feelings through mathematical equations (Paint It By Numbers), all framed as fevered journal entries.

The singles have picked up support from BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing.

(Influences include: Harry Nilsson, Jonathan Richman, and Love.)

“My kind of artist.” - Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music
