Has The West Lost It

The West's two-century epoch as global powerhouse is at an end. A new world order, with China and India as the strongest economies, dawns. How will the West react to its new status of superpower in decline?

The West's centuries-old status as the centre of global wealth and power is coming to an end. As the new powers - China and India from Asia and others from Africa and Latin America - rise to the top of the world's pecking order, how should the West react?

Farmer Dave Scher of All Night Radio, Kurt Vile, Beachwood Sparks and Skiffle Players releases his first LP for 10 years and with a new band. Some musicians leave elusive, magical trails you can only see from space. Some musicians have a ghostly eminence on too many of your favourite records to call it coincidence. Some musicians play pedal steel like Weldon Myrick in a psychedelic church at the bottom of the ocean. Some musicians can write a song to heal the sick, give succour to the lost and the lonely…Only Farmer Dave does them all.

How The West Was Lost And Other Vivid Hallucinations is the 2020 album by Australia's The Marlboro Men, a group that consists of only one man. This project was self-released, which means it was made for the fans.
