Re-Up: The Deep Freeze Mice 1983: Saw A Ranch Burning Last Night (Reissue 2015 With Extra Tracks)

 

The Deep Freeze Mice were an English new wave band active between 1979 and 1989. They were

based in Leicester, England, and consisted of the core members Alan Jenkins (guitars and singing), Sherree Lawrence (combo organ and other keyboards) and Mick Bunnage (bass guitar). The band had two different drummers over the years, Graham Summers and Pete Gregory.
                        

The band released ten albums on its own labels, from 1979 to 1983 on Mole Embalming Records and

from 1983 to 1989 on Cordelia Records. Their music was odd, often consisting of absurd and surreal lyrics delivered in Jenkins' deadpan voice, accompanied by bouncy pop/progressive rock music. Favoured lyrical concerns included animal rights, conformity and science fiction.
                   

Alan Jenkins was also a member of The Chrysanthemums in the late 1980's, and joined up with

members of Po! and The Ammonites in Jody & The Creams (later as "Alan Jenkins & The Creams") and Ruth's Refrigerator. He has played guitar with The Thurston Lava Tube since 2001. Ah, the Mice just keep getting better and better, as evidenced on their fourth album that melds Syd Barrett with Cleaners From Venus - reissued with tons of extras and a thick booklet!
