“Very Nice of You to Call” (1970) – Aardvark * Written by David Skillin * LP: Aardvark * Produced by David Hitchcock * Label: Deram Nova
A London prog band with no guitar, Aardvark (who once included Paul Kossoff and Simon Kirke of Free) released a lone album, and it mostly gurgled under heavy torrents of Hammond organ. The second track on side one, though, in spite of its ambiguous lyrics, glides into your memory banks on ruminative piano and handclaps, sounding more ’67 than ’70.
