Spent the last few days listening to the four gospels of Mark Hollis and Talk Talk. A spiritual experience, in all truth, to the final silence. Inspired by @graemethomson.bsky.social new biography The Four Seasons of Talk Talk. Let him who has ears, hear what the Spirit says. #music #nowplaying
@graemethomson.bsky.social Thought you might enjoy this version of Song to the Siren that was recorded with Larry Beckett 10 yeaars ago. It tells the story of the song. We also did it live. youtu.be/6ymnKhyj8M0?...

@graemethomson.bsky.social Thank you for your beautifully written book AW:TFSOTT. One of the best music biographies I have ever read. You do Mark justice and paint his gift like an old master. One thought occurred. Tim Buckley circa Lorca/Starsailor has many similarities to Mark.
