about
David Shrigley and Lord Stornoway solidify their partnership on this glorious full length of rousing, wayward rock music that offers some large, loving arms to enwrap you in. Lord Stornoway - aka Glasgow-based musician Iain Shaw - has a long standing working partnership with Glasgow-associated artist David Shrigley, taking in a raft of smaller releases leading up to their sardonic and in parts pretty anthemic album Don't Worry. Lord Stornoway sets Shrigley lyrics to music, roping in the artist on occasion too.
The title song launches the album with a stirring rock n roll work out that feels muscular and almost like it should be in permanent residence at Hampden Park(it sounds like great stadium music, is the point.) It feels like a communal moment even, with a full band backing up some pretty colourful lyrics. It feels like a Robert Pollard song almost too catchy for Guided By Voices. No Vacancies accurately paints a typical Shrigley vignet, you feel like you're in a particularly sardonic illustration of his, with a decidedly BMX Bandits tilt. Shaw's vocal and guitar playing is economical and affecting, though with Shrigley's alternative universe to draw from the emotions come barbed and real at the same time. "I wish I was the empty egg of a tiny flightless bird..." they sing on I Wish. You can almost feel the confusion of your emotional receptors, there's a bucketload of humour that these small nuggets of sadness swim in.
Don't Worry can break out the heavy stuff too: Hey Huge Man has a full-tilt rock band dynamic, while the down at heel Gruelling Task plough through with a loping blues rock and drum machine musical backing to Shrigley's own monologue about being distinctly unhelpful. Ultimately though, it's the tension between Shrigley's lyrics- detached at times, cynical but strangely hopeful, almost like a forensic pulling apart of societal norms and psychological states of being - and Shaw's deft and sympathetic musical accompaniment that sometimes paints a contrasting background for them.

Never Stop Texting Me
by Claire Rousay and More Eazesupported by 5 fans who also own “Don't Worry”
The drums on "hands" sound ecstatic; it's so fun to listen to them kick in. This is an emotionally-blissful pop album that widens one's perception of what can be done within such a format. I felt my pineal gland vibrate, (definitely kind of a "sigh,") and tripped out— I thought about it for hours. How the hell does mind correlate with matter?? Because I think it doesn't even.

This isn’t a professional review but I have absolutely adored Sonic Youth for so many years. I just finished listening to this on vinyl and all I could think was just, “woah.” They killed it on every track. 5/5
