The Songdog folk noir in Palma

One of those gems that pops up in Palma from time to time, Songdog stand out among much of the standard Christmas fare.

Basically singer-songwriter Lyndon Morgans, Songdog have been around for some twenty years. Currently a trio, Lyndon's lyrical themes tend to have more than a touch of darkness to them, but as a review in the Mirror has also put it, these are "bejewelled lyrics of wit, woe and wonder".

The musical influences are diverse and play into the visuals of Songdog videos; 'G Flat Gumbo' from 2020 gives a flavour. They are typically defined as being folk noir or neo folk or even apocalyptic folk, the origins of which go back to the punk days of the eighties.

There have been nine albums in all over the years, the most recent - under Lyndon's name rather than Songdog - being 'Of Gods and Men' that was released last year.
