Using synths and guitars Graham puts together a simple instrumental and describes this also mythical joke shop full of different oddities &#8211; chattering teeth, nails through fingers, jack in the box, vampire fangs, severed hands, it sounds like the kind of place that used to be on high streets past and reminds me of the fancy dress shop that\u2019s near me. Underneath this all there\u2019s a real story about how life is a joke shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The song is odd and has a catchy chorus that will stick with you but that\u2019s what Graham does, and if it\u2019s not then he\u2019s not done his job properly. You have to listen to his music and disappear into a surreal world for a bit to escape the madness for a bit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graham Graham Beck has dropped a new album and this is one of the tracks from it.
