Ever wondered if your degree will get you anywhere? Ever think its unfair that potential doesn’t been progress? Ever think life should be easier than this? Listen to Edward Penfold’s Conker, and you’ll realise that you’re not alone. ‘He’s an educated boy / he works for minimum wage….now he finds himself seven years behind the lad / who left school when he was young to do plumbing with his dad.’ Madness. Wistful vocals and jangly melodies make this a tender reflection on life today.
