One of the most iconic albums to hail from Merseyside.
H.M.S. Fable
was the third LP released from
Shack
following 1988's
Zilch
and 1995's
Waterpistol
. A collection of majestic storytelling in guitar form, written by two extraordinarily talented brothers,
Michael and John Head
. Originally released on Laurel Records/London Records in 1999, the band at that time comprised of Michael Head, John Head,
Ren Parry
, and
Iain Templeton
. Now released on the band's newly-formed label Shack Songs,
H.M.S. Fable
encompasses many musical styles, from orchestral guitar pop to psychedelic-tinged folk and even elements of Britpop. The Shack story is one of music's greatest legends. It incorporates hardship, bereavement and chaotic misadventure, but above all it tells the tale of beautiful music triumphing over trouble and tragedy. In the '80s, the two brothers from the notorious Kensington estate in north Liverpool were singer and guitarist with
The Pale Fountains
, an effervescent pop group which imploded under the weight of two albums in 1986. The Heads returned in '88 as Shack and a debut album
Zilch
. In 1991, Shack made
Waterpistol
, an inspirational guitar jewel that would have proved just as influential as any British album in that era had the studio not burned down, taking the master tapes with it. Four more years passed, but by the time it was finally released on Marina it had developed "lost classic" status. The Heads battled on. They toured as their hero
Arthur Lee
(RIP) of
Love
's backing band. In '97, they created a new group called
The Strands
and recorded the delicate, dreamy masterpiece "The Magical World Of The Strands."
