I used to see posters for Bawl all over Notting Hill when I was a youth, mostly peeling adverts for their single Beyond Safeways attached to telephone junction boxes, and there's something about listening to them that evokes a lot of memories of walking around town in the winter rain, with bag full of schoolbooks and a cassette walkman supplying vaguely distorted and wobbly melancholia to soundtrack another sodden traipse around the back alleys of West London, catching the glare of the lights under the Westway, staring up at the sky and catching rain in my mouth, living my life in the movies, conjuring suburban ghosts and spending the lunch money I'd saved up on shiny black vinyl from Rough Trade.
Quite what point I'm trying to make here escapes me so I'll shut up, but here for your delectation is a track called Some People Need Others by the amazing Bawl, who later had to change their name to Fixed Stars after some legal shenanigans. Bawl were great, if you like this one then I definitely recommend Beyond Safeways and the album Year Zero. You can also check out Pony Club, the band that they became after Fixed Stars.
