THE LLOYD PACK is a project band of transplanted Englishman DAN MELCHIOR. This release follows the full length At Home With The Lloyd Pack (L'Espirit D'lescalier 2013) and the Know Your Lloyd Pack 7 (Siltbreeze 2012). The Lloyd Pack A Tribute initially emerged from a conversation Melchior had with GRAHAM LAMBKIN (SHADOW RING, Kye Records) about the prospect of doing a Faux African record. For two British-expats living in the U.S. in the twenty-first century, this LP offers a peculiarly whimsical variation on the Faux African, infusing lo-fi tribal rhythms with post-punk dance in the spirit of early Adam Ant, Fun Boy Three and the Fall. If one were to imagine adding Ivor Cutler to this British-mix, it might approach what Melchior delivers on this LP. And for the record, Cutler is a Scot. Lambkin offered some vocal components, alongside a large cast (including the late LETHA-RODMAN MELCHIOR, ANGELA SAWYER aka PREGGY PEGGY, GNARLOS, NICKE HENNIES, LE ANN BACA BARTLETT, and JOHNNY BREWTON), all of whom chimed in on the recording process.
