Looking-Glass Lantern - A World Of Great Invention
SKU
23-LGRCD 003
“By the end of the Victorian era the world had become interconnected by technologies in a way that would have been unimaginable in the previous century. This album takes a musical look at the question “what did the Victorians do for us?”
The eight songs consider a selection of inventions and new developments, and the changes these brought about in the day-to-day lives of ordinary people. There are songs about the affordable daily newspaper; the postage stamp; the bicycle; the department store; portrait photography; the demise of the tea clippers due to the advent of steamships; the industrialization of farming; and indoor domestic lighting.
The album – the fourth from the Looking-Glass Lantern solo project – comes with a beautifully produced twenty-page booklet, the front cover of which symbolizes a world overrun with machinery.”
