about

Chris: Uncovered this recording recently: a practice of us going through a song that I had previously recorded on my own for a podcast I used to produce called Dispatches From The Communal Bathroom. I have very little memory of us performing this together so we can’t have played it much (see Mario’s shaky grasp on the keyboard line). This recording provides invaluable insight into the Soup Review practice: the recording starts with a fart, then a reference to Richard Dawson’s Ogre but its about farting, and then blaming some recently ingested onions for the farts. The onions of it all suggests that this was a practice ahead of our show in June 2019 with Sean Morley. We used to run a show called ‘A Soup and A Show’ where we asked an artist to play a night with us and we’d make them a soup of their choice. Sean had picked French Onion soup and this band practice probably also coincided with a taste test of Mario’s practice soup ahead of the gig. The song itself follows the arc of a love story between to south american volcanologists.

lyrics

Isabella and Eduardo
were volcanologists
who met conducting fieldwork
at a crater's edge
and at their wedding party
their food was served
on tectonic plates

and their nephews and their grandmas danced
on the Pompeii dancefloor
a smoke machine and orange lights
as ash clouds and lava

instead of a chocolate fountain
they had chocolate volcano
Isabella's Auntie Sofia
sustained serious burns
from flying molten chocolate
and the couple were divorced in 18 months
And they drifted apart

when there was any activity
on the Andean volcanic belt
they both attended
as it was their passion
but they both
feared seeing the other

Soup Review Sheffield, UK

Soup Review are what happens when South Yorkshire meets South Coast, when folk tradition meets anti-folk downbeat self- deprecation.
Chris Delamere is the son of a morris dancer. Mario D’Agostino arrived in Sheffield from Weymouth.
Together they write songs that masquerade as comic, but on closer listening reveal themselves to be a deep and poignant exploration of the human condition. ... more
