GORLKEEPERS EP
OLO Worms present..
"Just before the kitchen wall came down, Lionheart and Delifinger from OLO Worms recorded this EP. We wanted to hear the sound of gardening in our football kits. Or lying on the grass after being kicked in the air and staring at a cloudless sky. Or planting seeds that don't grow up or down. It features the Rhos Orpheus Male Voice Choir and programmed beats. We borrowed a piano. We bought a harmonium. We hope you enjoy it"
