Sukhdev Sandhu runs a publishing imprint Texte und Töne in New York. The LP, the imprints first, is also the first-ever Subway Sect record to come out in the States. (Perhaps unsurprisingly: they did have a song called U.S. Cunts!)
Its been produced by Mick Jones of The Clash. (A White Riot 77 reunion of sorts.) Theres a certain element of unspoiltness about the whole thing and thats what really appealed to me about it. Mick Jones MOJO This is Vic reflecting on a lifetime in the music business. It sounds like a record that he had to make and is perfect for now. When I was a kid, I used to make up my fantasy punk band with members from different bands and they almost always contained Vic Godard and Mick Jones. The songs are as good as it gets and with Mick Jones producing and playing piano, what more do you need? Jim Reid, Jesus and Mary Chain The Subway Sect story is one of the strangest, and therefore one of the best. Vic Godard indicated ways that pop should go. He dropped hints, left clues. It is all there. Kevin Pearce
Vics always walked his own path. Hes a model of independence. No wonder that hes recorded for some of the best UK independents (Rough Trade, el, Postcard). Years ago, when I was writing a book about nocturnal London, he took me on a postal round with him, all the while telling me funny stories about some of the prog rock aristos whose mail he delivered, and enthusing about the latest hip hop and bhangra he was listening to. Asked by Time Out to write an essay about my favourite Londoner, I wrote it about Vic. Now, in summer 2021, Im very happy to help release Moments Like These. Its about thinking back and thinking forward, about walking your own path. Its got soul, swagger and swing. Vic Godard: always onward! Sukhdev Sandhu It was an accident really as Sukhdev wanted to put Whats the Matter Boy out until I told him Id just recorded a new LP. Id been in discussions with loads of record labels but they all wanted to get my back catalogue digital rights and werent into the idea of putting out a new LP. I thought it was on course to be my 2nd lost album until the phone calls with Sukhdev. Vic
