TOWERS OPEN FIRE features the results of the recent song-writing collaboration that Judge has undertaken with Brakeman, whose unique open-tuned guitar technique produces musical textures for their songs that are like no other. These tracks are memorably tuneful, with literate, ingenious lyrics. This album also features the Glastonbury musicians, percussionist Tim Gallagher and ‘Cellist Gerry Barnett.
TOWERS OPEN FIRE has eleven tracks with a total running time of over 55 mins, and is presented in the ‘Masters Of Art’, military-grade super-jewelbox format with a comic-book-style 12 page booklet and full lyrics.
Limited numbers of pre-release copies are only available from this webshop, and will be SIGNED BY JUDGE AND BRAKEMAN.
