‘Uncanny’ action
from NathanAt last a bit of action.
After a slight set back that was, ahem, my fault, Uncanny Tales deluxe re-press is now complete and sitting in my house. Copies will be going to press and radio soon.
Details of availability will follow hopefully next weekend.
I have several hundred beautiful looking glitched disc drinks coasters going cheap too. Doh!
Update on ‘Uncanny Tales’
From Nathan
A few things have held up the pressing – long lost artwork having to be recreated etc – but touch wood they will be in Cardiff on Tuesday and off to reviewers week after.
The endlessly supportive Fruits De mer label will then make an announcement about availability roundabout 18th December
New to digital: ‘Whatever Happened to Soft Hearted Scientists’
The 19-track double CD version of our vinyl compilation album, “Whatever Happened to Soft Hearted Scientists,” is now available.
Spillers Records in Cardiff is one of the very few shops it will be available in.
Otherwise it is only available directly from the band for the stupid price of £8.99 in the UK or £12.99 from outside the UK. Including Postage!
Email here for how to order.
The return of ‘Uncanny Tales’
EXCITING! UNCANNY TALES FROM THE EVERYDAY UNDERGROWTH RETURNS!
The debut album by Soft Hearted Scientists has been sold out and out of print for far too long, existing only in (pull a face Fruits De mer people) digital versions.
So a special anniversary re-press is on the way. But not just a re-press.
A double Compact Disc version featuring the original album in all its critically acclaimed glory, but also an extra disc of all the Home Recordings of the tracks properly mastered and sequenced. The origins of Uncanny Tales if you like.
It will be generally available in late January 2016 directly from the band and in selected record shops.
Mastering for ‘Golden Omens’
From Nathan
“Very challenging second big mastering session for new album ‘Golden Omens’ at Gaz’s place in Bristol. It’s almost certainly a 25 track 2 disc double album.
“Some heavy duty repeat listening required to get the sequence right so it achieves escape velocity and maximises the chances of an out of body experience! It is a bit of a trip covering all bases from military drumbeat apocalyptic pop, surf rock, Leonard Cohen doomed romance ballads, psychedelicised eurovision pop, hibernation rock, police helicopter interrupted sleep dream meets feel flows by the Beach Boys in Splott rock, nautical psychedelia, and secular hymns to nature.”
