Danbert Nobacon, real name Nigel Hunter, was vocalist and keyboard player of the Leeds based anarchist band Chumbawamba. He is currently pursuing a solo career.
The Library Book of the World (as in the CD) is a theatrical concept album about trying to write a book on our current global predicament, in which I play the role of psychic medium plugged into the mainline of human history, hearing voices from present ghouls and future ghosts as well. Well that was yesterday.
Today it's vaudeville on a convict ship, a tale of being held in isolation in the hold, and cut adrift in the rising seas of the Atlantic, haunted by Perception Management Inc.'s best lines, and wrestling with every sleight of language in the attempt to dislodge the mirage of our consent.
Tomorrow, as the waves are crashing all around, it will be fifteen songs which form a partial soundtrack to the history/current affairs book I am actually writing, (working title Smart Lies, Secret Wars and Climate Revolt)
The album is all done and dusted, but the shifting sand gets in your shoes and it becomes hard to stand still. The music is off kilter, off balance, sliding around on deck, sea legs giving way, storm movin' in.
We don't know which way the ship is headed or how many times it's been back and forth, or if we are cast adrift and forever lost in the mists of Atlanticana, somewhere fatally short of land.
