“The world has a very unhinged feeling to it,” remarks London’s Americana fine-tuner Pete Gardiner on the current political hell-sphere. He then immediately launches into a song called “Bourbon and the Truth,” in which he permits the turmoil to rage to a fever pitch. “All I want to do is make some money / Take you out for breakfast, honey / Raise a glass and toast eternal youth,” he sings. He juggles his own place in such a degenerating world, and he in turn roots around for a sense of discernment of what is real and present before him. “There’s an angel making coffee for the devil in my made,” he later asserts. Such images fall as pools of blood, which collect into reflective crimson mirror. He gazes at the man therein and doesn’t like what he sees. “We all know what it’s like to lose…”
“Bourbon and the Truth” anchors a new EP called Live at the Bedford, out everywhere now.
