A magic realist psychedelic waltz
from Nathan
“I’ve seen the Tombs of Tremorfa,
The Sphinxes of Splott,
I’ve seen the Witches of Whitchurch
I like them a lot
I’ve seen the Gorgons of Grangetown
But I looked away
I see the Harpies of Habershon Street
Every day”
From “Waltz of the Weekend” by Soft Hearted Scientists, 2023.
Ever wondered what a magic realist psychedelic waltz about a trip from Splott to Tintern Abbey, with a middle section that resembles “Bohemian Rhapsody” on a budget mashed up with “Stonehenge” by Spinal Tap sounds like? You won’t have to wait too much longer.
