Lyrically, too, a theme evolved about friendship, mutual encouragement and the state of the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat started out as home made demos in unfamiliar keys grew into fully fledged arrangements. Everybody involved sings lead on a track or two and harmonies on everything, so the album itself is the musical embodiment of the Radical Friendship idea, not in theory but in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRadical Friendship Theory is not a band, it's a lovingly realised set of songs in a wide range of styles and arrangements, from baroque pop, to psych, from country rock to bookish indie, sung by a circle of friends between Glasgow, Kent, London, Berlin and southern Spain – a celebration of actual human, creative friendship as a life-saving alternative to a world of fake digital engagement, captive consumption and artificially sown division.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll songs written by Robert Rotifer except 'Across The Great Divide' written by Kate Wolf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited to 300 copies (also on CD).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLine Up:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIan Button - Drums, Keys, Vocals.\u003cbr\u003eJohn Howard - Vocals, Keys.\u003cbr\u003eKenji - Vocals.\u003cbr\u003eHelen McCookerybook - Vocals.\u003cbr\u003eThe Zew - Vocals\u003cbr\u003eRobert Rotifer - Guitars, Bass, Keys, Percussion, Vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in everybody’s homes and at Sunday School, Rolvenden Layne.\u003cbr\u003eMixed and mastered by Ian Button.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Spinout Nuggets","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":54067825312086,"sku":"SN184","price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":54067825344854,"sku":"SN184CD","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP\/CD","offer_id":54067825377622,"sku":"SN184LP\/CD","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/3552\/8278\/files\/RFT_LP_Cover.jpg?v=1780347212","url":"https:\/\/spinout-nuggets.myshopify.com\/products\/lovejoy-under-the-weather-lp-cd-pre-order-copy","provider":"Spinout Nuggets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
