Art, Religion and Chocolate Biscuits
A gloriously off-kilter yet deeply personal record that mixes absurdist punk theatre with an unexpectedly tender dive into mental health, Catholic guilt, and the surreal poetry of everyday life.
âItâs more personal than the previous ones,â frontman Pete explains, âbut not in a heavy way â more like Mortimer and Whitehouse than The Bell Jarâ, succinctly summing up the Dinner Ladiesâ approach: taking the kitchen sink, giving it a saxophone solo, and letting it spill over with charm, wit, and a fair helping of existential unease.
Parody and poignancy runs through every song. Tracks like âIs There Life in Rhyl?â and âHoly Picturesâ explore personal trauma and social conditioning through an unmistakably British filter; Catholicism, childhood fear, seaside holidays, and haunted toilet trips included.
For fans of: The Fall, The Kinks, John Cooper Clarke, X-Ray Spex, Madness, cabaret, collage, chaos, and joyfully honest punk.
