The Hornblower Brothers returned to action in 2016 with a new EP Free Range for Bleeding Heart Recordings, and a live session on Marc Riley's BBC Radio 6 Music. The band subsequently released the An Uncomprehensive Retrospective (2008–2016) compilation album and a follow-up single "Popping Round The Bend" on its own Pap Records label.
Musical style edit
The Hornblower Brothers style has often been compared to Half Man Half Biscuit[1] and Jeffrey Lewis, mainly due to the prominent use of satirical lyrics and an off-kilter pop style.
