Stop Sharpening Your Knives CD! Order Now! – £5 (incl. p&p)

"Stop Sharpening Your Knives is proud to present a compilation CD featuring a range of musicians from London, Norwich and Paris. These artists treat genres like the meaningless divisions they are, spanning anti folk to electronica, lyrical pop to sub bass, tape hiss to impressions. The limited edition hand-numbered CD contains original artwork by Zoe Taylor and comes with free badges of her specially commissioned pieces for S/S/Y/K. Release: August 2008"
