Where we ordinary people say ‘it is what it is’, a creative and prolific<\/a> singer-songwriter like Beans on Toast<\/a> aka Jay McAllister translates that as ‘you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube’. It’s a saying that fits well with the thirteen pure ‘acoustic punk’ songs on the newest LP<\/a> by the London-based cult folk artist. We get a quite diverse album that doesn’t shy away from heavy and personal subjects, but above all evokes a warm and comforting feeling, not least thanks to the charmingly gritty vocals and surprising elements (from children’s voices to bagpipes). Whether it’s an uplifting sing-along about the AI revolution (AI<\/em>) or a sensitive ballad for those we’ve lost along the way (Send Me A Bird<\/em> – below is the video with a sparse and touching live version), this is a very entertaining listen.<\/p>\n
