Vatican Cellars - MP3 from forthcoming debut album

for September you lucky lucky people can download the first single from the VATICAN CELLARS' debut album - BITTER PLANS

www.wiaiwya.com

BITTER PLANS will appeal to fans of TIM HARDIN, the LILAC TIME and NICK DRAKE; a georgeous lament to loss and its accompanying guilt. It's an English gent's soul music, an angry acoustic politely strummed, and a cello part to break you heart... Utterly beautiful...

it's coupled with a cover of VAN HALEN's RUNNIN' WITH THE DEVIL... it's cockrockchamberpop... oh, yes... i said COCKROCKCHAMBERPOP... it's the new thing, and all the kids are doing it...
