Epysode 40: "Bored Civilians".
This week on The Vinyl Relics Podcast, we unearth a hidden gem from the early '70s — "Bored Civilians" by Keith Cross & Peter Ross. A one-off collaboration between two underground talents, this hauntingly beautiful album blends British folk, progressive rock, and melancholy songwriting in ways that still resonate today.
We explore the unique alchemy between Cross’s intricate guitar work and Ross’s introspective lyricism, unpack the album’s short-lived legacy, and consider why this obscure release has earned cult-classic status among collectors and audiophiles.
I hope you dig "Bored Civilians" as much as I do.
