James P Honey & Joel Siméus - Book of Marion

Sometimes it all just comes together. The best of worlds meets. That's what happens whenever James P Honey and Joel Siméus work together. James is an amazing lyricist and I don't think I ever heard a song with him that I didn't enjoy. He's one of those guys that have it all. Style, lyrics, flow, personality. And if you combine that with Joel's amazingly distorted beats you get a match made in heaven. Planck Length Records have now released Book of Marion. It's two songs spanning over 30 minutes together, and it's just so good. And to make it even better, each vinyl comes with a twenty six page book written by James P Honey and illustrated by Timothy Betjeman. Every cover is handmade and hand titled. It is a limited edition 12″ vinyl, in deepest blue marbled with concrete grey. Can't get better than that. One of my favourite releases this year.

Rating: 4.5/5
