James Henry "The Sun Is Cracking The Flags"


The catchy single from James Henry, a singer, guitarist and producer from the UK. Read my review of James album here. It tells the story of a little safari man’s journey of philosophical discovery around a planet of unusual landscape and almost art-deco vegetation, whilst his big counterpart sings effortlessly of Captain Beefheart, hyenas and other universal predicaments (in a nice scarf).
