Cripes! Two years between newsletters... what have you been up to?? We've been busy... there's a new album!
Faxing Zimbabwe is our first studio album since 2015's "The Age of Entitlement". It's a real labour-of-love this one: a collection of covers and originals from the past 17 years - most we've never recorded before, a handful are re-imaginings of older songs that have evolved since their original outing.
The coolest part is that we recorded the whole thing ourselves, so it's the closest you'll ever get to being "at home" with us.
We wanted to make a record that acts as a 'love letter' to you guys who have stuck with us over the years. Something really special that says 'thank you'. So rather than sharing it with the world via streaming, we're only making available on vinyl, CD and audio cassette - the way music is meant to be heard.
(You will get a download of the album along with the purchase so don't freak.)
Here's the Tracklisting:
You Never Can Tell (Berry) 3:07
