Description

Jon Langford is best known for the music he creates with the Mekons and the Waco Brothers, but he's gained increasing acclaim for his visual art too. Nashville Radio, his first book-with-CD of paintings, writing and music (Verse Chorus Press, 2005) was a sprawling, jam-packed collection full of punk energy. For his new book, Langford has created a highly personal portrait of Wales, where he was born and raised. Skull Orchard incorporates a CD featuring Langford's rare album 'Skull Orchard', originally released in 1998, illustrated by a series of 'word paintings'.
