Each of them brings their own perspective and a timeless take on the original material with the likes of Fontaines D. An Ooser-Rod, the lyric sheet’s glossary tells us, is “a devil’s penis, abnormally large” while The Dorset Ooser is a mask with grim jaws that’s worn by someone who’s also donning a cow’s skin to frighten people. The songs are darkly pastoral and hyper-local – there are numerous mentions of Eleven Acres (which I presume is the coppice of the same name near Bridport).

I see my daughters talking about mental health a lot, and there’s a lot of discussion around that on social media,” he says. This works in the album’s favour: straight-up, reverent covers are never likely to match the originals, so it’s best to find new approaches.
