Randy Newman
Harps And Angels
The first vinyl release of the 11th studio album from Randy Newman, originally released in 2008. It is, by turns, hilarious, poignant and scathingly satirical. As with much of the extraordinary material he has created over fifty years as a recording artist – songs like ‘Sail Away’, ‘Political Science’, ‘Rednecks’, ‘Short People’, ‘I Love L.A.’ – Newman assumes the voice of an imagined character, often one of questionable reputation, eager to share his opinions.

Randy Newman
Dark Matter
The first studio album from the legendary Randy Newman in almost a decade, following on from 2008's Harps and Angels. Following in traditional Newman style, the songs have splendid melodies, excellent and irony-tinged lyrics that deal with characters and narratives.
Newman, who is known for writing from the perspective of various narrators, many of whom are unreliable, tried something new on DarkMatter: “If there is anything consistent about the songs, there is often more than one voice, in the big ones, and it’s different for me, a difficult thing to bring off, to make it comprehensible,” he says. “I think it works. They cover more ground than most songs do and portray a number of different characters. Audiences are smart. They’ll understand the songs. I hope they like them as well. I’m proud of the record,” Newman continues. “I think it’s entertaining – I hope it’s entertaining – and that’s eighty percent of what I try to do. Also, I’m doing something different than I’ve ever done before. It’s a step forward for me, and considering how long I’ve been doing this, I’m kinda proud of that.”
