The new album from the ERC takes us on another musical journey, following on from 2012′s 1612 Underture, Magpie Billy & the Egg that Yolked (A Study of the Northern Ape in Love) explores the complex behaviour patterns, communication calls, mating rituals, bad habits and eccentricities of two highly individual male Apes living in the same House, but at different times. The First Ape is an aged Motorcycle Enthusiast, a Shed Dweller and creative. Whilst the 2nd Male primate, is a young, work hard, grunting Progressive Music Fan, with old fashioned values.
All music was written by Adrian Anthony Flanagan & Dean Honer. The voice/narrator you can hear comes from Angel of the Northwest Maxine Peake. Additional live drums on tracks 3,5,9 & 12 played by producer Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys,Tricky, The Fall, Jarvis Cocker).
