It will be available to buy in the next few weeks via W&W, along with Toy Library badges as well as the mysterious Charles Vaughan EP - the first W&W release.More news on the release and the new W&W site very very soon.
These songs were recorded straight to an old PC during 2004 and 2005, in the ground floor bedroom of my parents house in rural Staffordshire, England. All live instruments were captured using a single mono camcorder microphone, that had come into my possession when I swapped it for a BB gun in high school. These songs have been languishing on my old hard drive for 18 months or so.....forgotten....just waiting for the PC to crash one last time and then be lost forever. Big thanks to BTH for encouraging me to save these tracks from disappearing forever and inspiring me to let people hear them. These songs were never recorded with the intention of ever being released or heard by anyone else other than myself and my closest friends. They are more just ideas and sketches, recorded simply for the fun of it. Hope you enjoy them.
I will be releasing 100 CDR's of this material before Xmas as a full length album. If you are interested in reserving a copy please email me at:
