Drop The Strings... There Are Tales To Be Told

dave Stuart had this album linked in the personal info section of his deviantart account, where he mostly draws comics of Shrek and Sonic being married and also solving crimes. Glad to say these tunes are waaaaay better than his fan art. Favorite track: Burning Mattress Outside Tollcross Waste Bins.

ryandenham Wall-to-wall beautifully produced bass licks. Like slamming a shot of pure concentrated bass. What's not to like? Favorite track: Primates Climb The Ladder, While The Frogs and Rabbits Hop Along.

about

Drop The Strings... There Are Tales To Be Told

A group of primates climbed the magical ladder while the frogs and rabbits hopped along. They climbed and hopped so far, eventually they reached some waste bins in Tollcross where a human was disposing of their rubbish. Right beside said bins, to their collective amazement, the primates, frogs, rabbits and human all witnessed a mattress light up in flames and burn to the ground. Transfixed by the bright intense flames, they all stood at the scene motionless as the smoke rose up towards the sky.

The faded joker laughed while the comedian fell flat during their latest performance. Upon striking up a conversation after the show and lamenting on past woes, they looked at the glimmering shooting star in the distance and ultimately both realised the truth. Said truth being that while the puppets do indeed run the circus, it is in fact the ringmaster who knows the score. The star does not know what awaits them, the comedian and joker pondered as they thought of what was yet to come.

Huge thanks to Leith Depot, Nora, Niggels the puppet, Living Puppets and to anyone who has ever supported me in any capacity with creating and playing music.
