An eclectic compilation album celebrating twenty tips of the tongue from David Keenan, released to coincide with a book of his collected music writing.
As well as being the title of a book. Volcanic Tongue was a record shop that existed in Glasgow from 2005 to 2015, run by David Keenan and Heather Leigh, it championed contemporary DIY music from around the world, often released in tiny runs on homemade CD-Rs, and also sought to shine a light on forgotten artists from the past, who had often released their music as a private press LP. The shop was also known for its weekly mailing list, with Keenan enthusiastically rapping about new arrivals, especially the record of the week, given the sobriquet tip of the tongue. This collection has been put together from releases that were a tip of the tongue, containing music that runs the gamut from outsider synth to psych-folk to damaged rocknroll, with tracks recorded between 1968 and 2013, a celebration of a vibrant and eclectic underground avant-garde.
Printed inner sleeves with original notes on each artist by David Keenan, housed in a sleeve designed by Julian House.
