9 Red Songs LP

£19.99

PRE-ORDER ONLY -Delivery November 2025

 9 Red Songs was an unexpected change of direction for Chris T-T, landing in autumn 2005 after a full band record had stalled (this would eventually become 2008’s Capital). Instead, Chris swerved in a new direction and quickly taped a collection of raw, folk-ish, often bitingly funny protest songs. He attacked both ecological and political issues, criticising the Blair era Labour government, church, media and the landed gentry. Chris sang his disgust at foxhunting, responded to the war in Iraq and even pre-empted / predicted the impending financial crash.

“Just brilliant.”

— Clive James

“One of the great underground artists of our time.”

— Jon Snow (Channel 4)

“One of the most consistently fascinating artists of the decade.”

— The Morning Star

Compared to earlier T-T albums 9 Red Songs was overlooked by the mainstream press and at the time felt like only a modest success. However its songs such as ‘Huntsman Comes A-Marchin’ ‘M1 Song’ and ‘Preaching To The Converted’ all gained lives and reputations of their own, reaching far beyond the artist, until 9 Red Songs grew to became one of T-T’s most fondly remembered albums.
