Inspired by Gwilym Wogan’s Daily Refrain, here we have an impromptu EP of grimy surrealist folk.  Five songs produced in five days, resulting in just over eleven minutes of sloppy guitar, swirling background hiss, hastily programmed drums, and occasionally rhyming nonsense from the aptly-named Grimbeard.  Throw your razors away and folk out with your yolk out.

Tracklisting:

1. Beware the Ides of March of Dimes (1:44)
2. 21st Century Laundry Man (2:47)
3. Bigfoot Don’t You Lose My Number (2:08)
4. Bitchcraft (2:29)
5. Mouth Full of Pearls (2:07)
