Thanks, Mike. And thanks Mike& #39;s dad. Seeing this made me get my Great Uncle& #39;s banjolele out for the first time in a while, as played on the record. https://twitter.com/mikephilpott/status/1265387773235793923">https://twitter.com/mikephilp...

Given the way our country has gone since this EP was written in 2011 I& #39;ve felt increasingly awkward and anxious about The War Room & whether we (& that record) are part of the problem. I think it& #39;s good to ask yourself difficult questions like that..

But I think it& #39;s very important to be able to pay tribute to the extraordinary sacrifices made by so many & #39;ordinary& #39; people in that time - like Mike& #39;s dad, like my Great Uncle, and not nervously shuffle away from it, leaving a space for nationalists alone to occupy.

I think we stayed the right side of the line (and I& #39;m not seeking reassurance) and the defiantly Krautrock Spitfire has, thankfully, never fallen into the wrong hands.. But there you go. Some late evening ruminations for you.
