Bandcamp Subscription #6 now available
The August Bandcamp subscription release is now available to everyone signed up at https://thegreatpark.bandcamp.com/subscribe
The sixth in the series, ‘exile songs’ was recorded in the same three evenings as ‘bottle the grief’ and is a collection of older songs I was playing whilst writing and recording the new songs for that album. Track list goes like this:
boys, i am worried
the leaving, or what’s left of it
make a dead one of it
trouble
440
super good advice
it don’t stop the bleeding
the royal canal
the hills are alive
Some of these things I rarely play in concert, especially the last song ‘the hills are alive’, which I wrote and recorded back in 2008 and is a long, narrative thing with too many words.
As with all the Bandcamp subscription releases, the physical edition comes as a hand stamped CD-r with an individually hand typed cover, complete with random mistakes. I make all of these by myself and I’m not about to win any typing contests.
‘exile songs’ will be included as a second disc in a new, physical edition of ‘bottle the grief’ which will be available to everyone in a week. So, in other words, this instalment of the Bandcamp subscription is technically not exclusive and instead available to everyone soon. Subscribers do get all my releases as I make them and next month I’ll be back to putting things there that aren’t out anywhere else. I’m finishing an album of new songs at the moment and will be sharing music from that at the end of August. It goes on.
ps: here’s a video I made a few days after this post:
