about
English pastoral psychedelia songwriter/composer, born Chris Anderson (Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire) in 1967, now based in Sussex. Debut album The Fall And Rise Of... released April 2013 on Bleeding Heart Recordings with full core trio comprising Alistair Strachan on brass and Random Jon Poole on keyboards. The album was variously compared with such artists as Lalo Schifrin, Syd Barret, Robert Wyatt, Cardiacs (with whom Random Jon Poole had previously played), Julian Cope, Tony Banks, Super Furry Animals, Blur, Peter Skellern, Lambchop, Spacemen 3, Brian Wilson, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Button Moon, Joe Hisaishi's work for Studio Ghibli, Love amongst many others. In spite of these comparisons it is largely agreed that the Crayola Lectern experienced live is quite unique in its execution, juxtaposing both the deeply emotional and entertainingly eccentric with a enrapturing wilfulness of melody. Crayola Lectern performs either as a duo or a trio around the UK and is currently working towards the second album.
