Vinyl LP pressing. 2012 debut solo album from Bill Ryder-Jones, founding member and lead guitarist from the Coral. The album was recorded to soundtrack Italo Calvino's meditation on writing in the post modernist novel If on a Winters Night a Traveler and lays out grand orchestral movements side by side with stark, nakedly emotional vocal led pieces that weave a bleak but beautifully visceral accompanying narrative.. If has provided the framework necessary for Ryder-Jones to explore his musical potency in full detail. If, The Reader (Malbork), Leaning (Star of Sweden), By the Church of Apollonia, Le Grand Desordre, Enlace, Intersect, The Flowers #3 (Lotus), Give Me a Name, Some Absolute End (The End)
