Very different feel, but this is my fav UK chap
And this album in just an incredible listen. The whole album is a conversation btw an anarchist on trial, and his reporter friend. Really moving stuff.

Time we got this right
We've tried all other avenues
And now
This is the one solution left
So listenComrades here
And those at home
Welcome to Mud Island
Where clouds don't clear
And no one comes for asylum
Where you can't grow food without a horticulture license
And licenses are only granted to corporate giants
Not the Jolly Green
They're monsters of oil and iron
Who shape government policy
And own soil and sky
And they also own the rights
To the writer's pens
So no news can find a vent
Without prior consent
And that consent doesn't come
When the news is anti-government
Or pro-Islam
Or anti-capitalism
Or about the fear that always hangs in the distance
Or the fact that every other cousin's languishing in prison
Or the lack of a living wage
That wages war on actually living
The buses are silent
We all face forward
Like the drones in 1984
Afraid to talk in case we're breaking laws
We didn't even know existed
The terror agents on the corners
Who can leave you broken wristed
With interrogation methods
Never less than vicious
And detention without charge
Is the quintessence of Englishness
The quintessence of Englishness- Phone call just gave me goose bumpsProjectile

- wish it had a little more complexity in the music though. more like this https://www.youtube.…deathboy
