I finally got the new Paul Roland album, Re-Animator. Lately, he's been concentrating on writing books on occult and spiritual topics, but over the past twenty years, he's released about a dozen albums and collections that are a wonderful cross between Robyn Hitchcock and Al Stewart. His style is sort of a dark folk-rock sound and the themes are wonderful - the Cthulhu Mythos, Forteana, the occult, Victorian/Edwardian gothic, etc. Very literate and interesting lyrics throughout. Why the steam punks haven't discovered him, I'll never know, (it may be because he's never toured America and his albums have always been poorly distributed here - you have to be a True Collector to own them all - some are fabulously rare*). At any rate, Re-Animator, like all his other albums, is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it.
