Description:
Library Book Of The World marks a refinement of the political ideals practiced by Nabacons former band, the infamous anarchist collective Chumbawamba. Channeling the revolutionary fire of a proud lineage of conscientious agitators, Nobacon describes his role on the album as that of a "psychic medium plugged into the mainline of human history, hearing voices from present ghouls and future ghosts as well." The result is both a self-contained manifesto and companion to Smart Lies, Secret Wars and Climate Revolt, a history and current affairs book Nobacon is currently writing. On Library Book Of The World, his first solo album in over two decades, Nobacon dredges up a motley crew of shipmates in the Pine Valley Cosmonauts and embarks on a long-distance voyage through the wreckage of history, setting a course for a future in which contemporary society crumbles about us. The veritable rogues gallery that is the Pine Valley Cosmonauts -- old friends and fellow pint-hoisters Jon Langford (Mekons, Waco Brothers), Alan Doughty (Jesus Jones, Waco Brothers), multi-instrumenalist John Rice, drummer Dan Massey and accordionist Pat Brennan -- joins Nobacon to kick up menacing refrains, ushering in the extinction of heedless environmental degradation and the multi-tentacled kraken of globalism.
