The Green Pajamas – All Clues Lead To Meagan’s Bed (2LP)

Following on from their 1997 “return from the wilderness” album ‘Strung Behind The Sun’, the Green Pajamas return with arguably their strongest album to date in ‘All Clues Lead To Meagan’s Bed’. There is no innocence here, the concerns are as often dark and ambiguous as they are elevated and joyous. On the flip side of delirious, celebratory treats like ‘The Secret Of Her Smile’ and ‘Queen Of Sunshine’ you’ll find tales of obsession, psychic disturbance, madness and addiction like ‘Death By Poisoning’, ‘Rattlesnake Kiss’ and ‘The Laughing Horseman’. The glowing mysticism of ‘Morning In Myra’s Room’ rises in the East like a pole star, eyes focussed inwards as infinity wheels around it, a drone symphony of guitars, keys, sitar and tabla, and yet another signifier of quiet greatness. Limited to 250 copies.
