Mike Badger (founder of The La’s and The Onset) recorded this LP (produced by Paul Hemmings- The La’s/Lightning Seeds) as a collection of late Ninties reflective, understated but clear cut singer songwriting. Comprised mainly of vocals and acoustic guitars with simple accompaniment of organ/accordion by (Henry Priestman- It’s Immaterial/The Christians) Cello- Louis Johnson with Backing vocals by Tommy Scott (Space).

Volume is a gem not dissimilar to Michael Head’s wonderful album The Strands, delicate, beautiful, dizzying, dreamlike packed with gorgeously fragile songs’
(Ian SalmonBigmouth Magazine)

‘The simple timelessness of songs like Reach For the Stars and Poverty of the Heart, suggest they could have been found on the wind tossed Liverpool streets’
(The Big Issue)

Silent Secrets‘ sounding like the theme to ’70s kid’s show Magpie and The La’s rocking out in a Taverna, Lee Maver’s clearly wasn’t the sole custodian of songwriting gold’
(Select)

‘Unabashed, Badger has staked out classic singer song-writer territory with these simple inquisitive songs’
(The Guardian)

‘What’s obvious from this record is Badger’s composing ability with at least half the 12 tracks having ‘classic’ potential’
(Paul du NoyerMojo)
