| Description: | Freakons by Freakons, released 22 April 2022, includes the following tracks: "Abernant 84-85", "Canaries", "Phoebe Snow", "Never Thought I'd See The Day" and more.
This version of Freakons comes as a 1xCD. - Mekons + Freakwater = FREAKONS !! Mekons (beloved, mythical British rabble-rousing beast) and Freakwater (also beloved, yet often derided as godmothers of Alt-Country) have allied their sundry song & dance talents for the forces of good. Together they are FREAKONS, and they have joined forces to sing songs about coal mining, of all things. Oddly, Freakwater and Mekons were bound to each other at the start, by the rich seam of Anthracite coal running the width of the Atlantic Ocean from Wales to the Appalachian Mountains. The music and culture of mineral resource extraction, ecological disaster, and worker exploitation are their shared heritage. FREAKONS is the first fruit of this visionary musical union. The LP is a Gatefold design package.Limited Edition of 100 |
