He has explored it through numerous enterprises – most recently with the ‘ambient post-rock’ band Land Yacht Regatta. Many of the lyrics collected here were written for LYR. Others are drawn from Armitage’s days with the DIY indie band The Scaremongers, various film and theatre productions including \u003ci\u003eSongbirds\u003c\/i\u003e and the BAFTA-winning \u003ci\u003eFeltham Sings\u003c\/i\u003e, and other miscellaneous ventures.
