The Singing Loins started as a stripped-down acoustic duo in 1990/91, with the aim of writing honest, bare songs, outside of any particular style, coining the phrase 'Authentic Raw Folk from the Medway Delta'.  Their first two albums were recorded with Billy Childish and released on his Hangman Records.
Twelve years, and five or six albums later, they added banjo/mandolin/accordion, and hooked up with Damaged Goods Records and released another four or five records (depends who's counting).
Currently, as well as gigging regularly as The Singing Loins, they also moonlight with Billy Childish as The North Kent Folkways Revival, who have collectively recorded another three albums, and also played a Riley & Coe BBC6 Music session.
This new mini-album, 'Camber '87', is a further progression. The lead track, 'Teeth & Eyes', is a new song; a pox-marked beauty. The other five are revisited versions of lo-fi original oldies, twisted and adapted to the new sound and line-up

1 Teeth & Eyes
2 Medway Delta Love Song
