about

Producer Gav Monaghan (The Editors, Ocean Colour Scene, Robert Plant, The Twang) aka The Bat and Dan Donovan aka Mr.Moose worked together remotely on this album from the close of 2020, they baked up a treat and Dan raised a nod to the chaos as a worldwide pandemic rained down.

Shut away Donovan wrote & recorded all the tracks in The Moose Shack, Fenland, England and Monaghan then worked his magic on the mixes some 120 miles away in his bat cave, The Magic Garden.

After years of collaboration with Gavin Monaghan, Dan says ‘our shared love of gritty leftfield grooves, crankin guitars and bruising beats meant these new tunes dropped sweetly into place, I baked the cake and Gav dressed it with the icing.’

Donovan embraced 70’s glam rock sonics, Krautrock beats, Desert Rock ambience and created his own garage rock fuelled sound. Bat Beats is visceral and frank, deeply reflective with a ton of soul-searching.

A decade into his career as solo bass guitarist, looper, general entertainer, mouth-on-legs and alarming fashion rebel, Steve Lawson takes stock and visits/revisits both old and new pieces in concert. As ever, "jazztronic", "folkalicious", "popstewed", "calypsodelic" and other cute blender-type adjectives apply. Dann Chinn @ Misfit City
