Our Take

Beans on Toast, the self-proclaimed "drunk folk singer," is back with his latest offering, "A Bird In The Hand." A record that is so laid back, it's practically horizontal.

From the opening track "World Gone Crazy" to the closing notes of "Jimmy Hill," Beans on Toast takes us on a journey through his witty, satirical world. With his clever lyrics and signature storytelling, he effortlessly tackles important issues such as politics, society, and of course, love - all with a healthy dose of humour and a pint in hand.

The album is a perfect blend of folk, punk, and a touch of country, creating a sound that is uniquely Beans on Toast. His distinctive British accent adds an extra layer of charm to his already infectious melodies.

Standout tracks include the catchy "Magic" with its infectious chorus, the political anthem "Alexa," and the heartfelt "1980s Sagittarius" which showcases Beans on Toast's emotional depth.

Overall, "A Bird In The Hand" is a whimsical, thought-provoking, and ultimately uplifting listen. Beans on Toast proves once again that he is a master of his craft, delivering an album that is as comforting as a cup of tea on a rainy day. So grab a pint, sit back, and let Beans on Toast serenade you with his delightful tunes. Cheers to that!
