  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This release comes in a colour factory printed card wallet to give the feel of a vinyl album. This is accompanied by a vinyl replica CD which is hand stamped by the band with our logo. This is as close as we could get to a vinyl release on our budget. It looks really cool and the sound quality is crisp too. The cover is stickered as 'Limited Edition Vinyl Replica CD' and shrink wrapped. The CD is exclusively available from the band directly and all proceeds feed back to us so more albums can be made without a middle man taking a cut of profits. We are fiercely independent and skint to boot which means it's a very DIY operation. If we can't afford to pay someone to do it we try and learn how to, then blag it!

    The artwork is by @thischalmingman (Twitter / Instagram) and the cover photo used to create the front sleeve was taken in Rhyl, Wales. The picture used on the rear sleeve was taken in Ibiza Old Town. Viva Eivissa! Fun fact: The splash you can hear at the end of Cabin Crew is Joe's Daughter jumping into a swimming pool in Ibiza.

    The album was produced by Gavin Monaghan and recorded at Magic Garden Studio in Wolverhampton except for Rank Amateur which was recorded at The House Of Blews (aka Joe's back bedroom). Additional mixing was handled by Joseph Murray.

    The album was recorded and mixed over 6 days. These days were spread between March 2016 and May 2018. By purchasing this album you are helping us to create further releases and for that we are really grateful. So grateful in fact we slid a hidden bonus acoustic track on the end of the CD. This CD also includes a HQ digital download of the album in with the price. So, if you're a collector you can keep the CD sealed and unplayed but still listen to the album from the download.

    Self released on Tidy Karma Recordings and put together on a shoestring, this is the product of a DIY mentality in austere times. If we can do this, you have no excuse. Have at it.
