The song: ‘MONSTER RAVIN’ LOONEY’ : by Tot Taylor on TheCampus label (via Rough Trade)
is an unabated swipe at our political leaders and the mess they have “gotten us into”. A super upbeat-sounding track about downbeat days. ‘Heavy but hooky’ with socio-political “US & THEM” lyrics.

Tot’s crunchy piano chords vibrate the floorboards in this ‘tale of our times’ announcing a new album due this summer full of stories about “the world we live in” (and how to get out of it!)
ecorded at RAK Studios, London, engineered & mixed by Duncan Fuller, with Shawn Lee: drums & Paul Cuddeford: guitars, ‘MONSTER RAVIN’ LOONEY‘ is from Tot Taylor’s ‘in progress’ (but upcoming) new album STUDIO SOUNDS
