Released on November 22, 2019, Here Comes A Man From The Council With A Flamethrower is the acclaimed debut studio album by the Southampton-based avant-rock and progressive quartet A Formal Horse.
Roger Trenwith The Progressive Aspect: “The longest track on Here Comes A Man From The Council With A Flamethrower is the 3:58 of Unison 3, so the listener’s attention is never prone to wandering. There is no fat on this record, every second counts, and at 43:20, which is a perfect length for an album, it never outstays its welcome. Because there are so many songs on here, and as a result so many ideas, whizzing by at a hundred miles an hour, it has taken me quite a while to get into the record, as it is a labyrinth of quite dense proportions. The huge rolling thunder of the frankly stunning final track, Anyway, probably sums it all up, and brings together all the tumultuous and turbulent torrents of creativity that course through the veins of this fine album.”
