BEANS ON TOAST – KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS – ALBUM REVIEW
It’s December and we again have a year of horror and wonder behind us. It’s difficult to make sense of the realities of life but you can also rely on Beans On Toast trying to do just that at this time of year.
His traditional birthday album this year finds him releasing his eighteenth collection and in all of those years he has had plenty of inspiration – both good and bad. The past twelve month have been typically concerning, but throughout all of the big stuff, the fascination with life itself is what glistens on this record.
‘Kill Them With Kindness’ naturally has some pointed messages for those big players who heap misery on the world of communities that make humankind human and kind. It is his ability to highlight stories from the hearts of these communities however that make this an uplifting album. A reminder of what makes life special.

‘The Glastonbury Oak’ may be the perfect Beans On Toast track – a song about a festival and a tree! ‘Taylor Swift for President’ represents his fantastic knack for pushing his tongue in his cheek whilst still making absolute sense. ‘Pelican Crossing’ is a fine example for his observational skills. ‘That’s Why I Don’t Drink Tequila Anymore’ is a fantastically fun new favourite and ‘Our Cat’ will ring true with many a dad out there.
Yes, there are personal stories, political commentaries and general experiences of existence on what is an all-round great Beans On Toast album. Made with his newly minted Beans On Toast Band, the music accompanying his words adds new levels of class to our yearly journal.
This does feel like a new pinnacle for an incredibly prolific artist.
