DARREN HAYMAN AND THE SECONDARY MODERN - ESSEX ARMS (LP)

Darren Hayman And The Secondary Modern Essex Arms on Vinyl LP

Darren Hayman And The Secondary Modern's new album Essex Arms tells tales of illicit sex, dog fights, car crashes and love in the English countryside. Darren, of course, is best known as the singer/songwriter of the phenomenally successful and much-loved Hefner, although it's worth noting that he has now made six albums to Hefner's four. In the latest incarnation of the constantly morphing Secondary Modern he has gathered together a set of musicians with the chops to do justice to his increasingly complex and mature songs; a tight, tough, but soulful folk-rock orchestra reminiscent of a more urban Incredible String Band or an Anglicized Lambchop.
