Songs about Love, Dreams \u0026amp; Domestic Appliances is a collection of twenty inspired, observational and quirky tracks from this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLen's songs are populated with sad personalities - products of a cruel world: an untidy research scientist called Zoe, a soon-to-be evicted Russian barber from Brixton called Yuri, a crabby homeless man in Leeds, point-scoring TV politicians and characters obsessed by food, space travel, texting and the end of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe songs are quintessentially English observations: a far cry from Len's folk-rooted Ukrainian-language-singing alter ego as founder member of internationally acclaimed Cossack folk-punk group The Ukrainians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSongs about Love, Dreams \u0026amp; Domestic Appliances features guest appearances from members of the original, classic line-up of the Wedding Present as well as members of The Ukrainians. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67643925921974,"sku":null,"price":17.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9119\/8390\/files\/R-24160856-1660156848-9119.jpg?v=1792034932","url":"https:\/\/repressedrecords.com\/products\/the-legendary-len-liggins-songs-about-love-dreams-domestic-appliances-cd","provider":"Repressed Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
