#FallFriday

Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 in The Quietus - When the first few of us that moved out here to the east Bay and played our first couple of shows in local places like Gilman Street, people were saying ‘obviously you are fans of Swell Maps and The Fall’, neither of which I had heard of. I couldn’t believe some Fall music when I heard it, how much kinship I felt with it. Their use of breaking up songs. Like that track [‘Paint Work’] where MES goes ‘spoiling all the paintwork.’ Putting your fingerprints on it. To me that was perfect.”

Reminds me of David Owen's Temple of Love cover.

"I remember being sat in Claire’s Volvo outside the Faversham with Andrew in the back, in the car park, listening to a tape of the newly recorded Temple Of Love single. Andrew commented that he was worried it was too fast for people to dance to. He must have needed the sleeve sorting out quickly because he asked me to do the artwork over the weekend - this time he gave me a pile of cut-up pieces of card with various Letraset bits on and logos and other stuff written on paper for me to finish and sort out. The cover image, the sun burst, was a scrap of A4 paper with the design on in black ink - it was a bit tatty and rough and I had to clean it up quite a bit to make it look ok"

David Owen is a graphic designer and musician from Leeds. His artwork skills were employed by Andrew Eldritch at a crucial time in The Sisters of Mercy history, when he was struggling to manage all aspects of the band's affairs as they became more successful.

It's comforting discovering that woodwind players are the radicals in an orchestra, and the flautists are away with the faeries.
