Peter Doherty and Trampolene‘s Jack Jones – Puta Madres luminaries – have released a new lockdown song together entitled Uncle Brian’s Abattoir.
The song was sent around the ether through Swansea, London and Normandy on its way to completion; starting with Jones laying down a spoken word piece on his phone, it then went on to producer Mike Moore for the music, and from there on to Doherty who put vocals down on his phone before emailing it back to Moore. “Uncle Brian’s Abattoir came about when I was picking up my little cousin from an after school art class,” Jones says of the origins of this dizzying experience.
“he had painted a paradise where animals and humans lived in harmony but mistakenly called it an Abattoir. I found the whole thing very charming and jotted it down in my notes. So it’s about an abattoir, but not as you know it. It’s taken straight out of a child’s imagination. It has taken on another meaning for me lately as it is also about slowly going mad being stuck indoors during the lockdown.”
