Turtle delight

When Alan Sparhawk played in Cardiff last November, I particularly sang the praises of some of the "as-yet-unrecorded material". As it turns out, the songs I singled out as special - Princess Road Surgery, Screaming Song and Don't Take Your Light - had already been recorded, a year earlier with Minnesotan folkies Trampled By Turtles. That trio (and more) will be on the album With Trampled By Turtles, out at the end of May.

As good - and as necessary - as White Roses, My God was, it's a relief to learn that Sparhawk hasn't totally abandoned or lost faith in the strength of his own unfiltered voice.
