Here Be Monsters, the new album by Jon Langford and his band Skull Orchard, finds the acclaimed musician and visual artist scanning the outskirts of popular culture, its title born of medieval cartographers term for the dragons, sea serpents, and other mythical beasties that reside beyond the boundaries of the known universe. Set to be released on April 1st via In De Goot Recordings, the album sees the Welsh-born, Chicago-based singer/songwriter/bandleader/producer/painter/poet plotting a clear-eyed, sharp-elbowed course through such far-flung subjects as alternative hierarchies and astronomy, perpetual war for perpetual profit, the culture of detachment, middle age, fatherhood, fame, and the fleetingness of love.
