Our album release... Bandcamp Friday T-shirt & CD deal

camf · April 2020

So I started a thread here: https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/178908/coronavirus-album-release-strategy-first-review-in-yay#latest and everyone has been really positive and supportive. But I pretty much knew it should really be here.

Our self-funded debut album gets its release in very strange circumstances but it's already picked up a nice review that pretty much tells you what it is. "Powerpop with a melancholy edge meets post-REM Americana' seems - very roughly - to be how people are describing it.

Anyway, my friend made this no-budget lockdown promo for the first track. We like it, hope you do too.

You can get the album from https://borrowedbooks.bandcamp.com/album/shorting-out-and-longing from tomorrow and it gets a full cross-platform release a week later on the 7th.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, but still, WE'VE MADE THE CHARTS! Straight in at Number 10 with a bullet. That's higher than the brilliant STEVE-****ing-EARLE! And we're next to JASON-****ing-ISBELL!!! I've told the wife she can have that guitar-shaped swimming pool that I've always dreamed about. Champagne and coke all round, chums... it's the big time!

It's a real thing... specialised, but real.

This has been the soundtrack to my afternoon. Particular highlight is "Gather" for me, but the whole thing hangs together very nicely indeed.

TTony · May 2020

Bought.

I believe today's the day to buy on Bandcamp too - all monies to the artist.

JezWynd · May 2020

Congratulations!

camf · May 2020

@UnclePsychosis Shouldn't the new amp the the soundtrack for your day?

But still... big thanks!

camf · May 2020

Thanks @TTony. That's much appreciated. Hope you enjoy it.

camf · May 2020

@JezWynd Thanks sir. Honestly, at my very advanced age, it's a miracle to be on any chart, other than an alarming health related one.

ewal · May 2020

I better get on to this ;-) Hope it goes well!

ewal · May 2020

Fuck! I know some of these songs!

ewal · May 2020

camf · May 2020

@ewal You do!

thecolourbox · May 2020

It's a really good collection of songs, well deserved recognition. I like Monstrous a lot

camf · May 2020

Cheers @thecolourbox It was one of these 'five-minutes-and-it's-90%-written' jobs. It doesn't happen often, but nice when they come along.

The Bandcamp site seems to be struggling today with all the extra traffic - will get on it eventually...

camf · May 2020

Ewan, you’re special... PM me your address and I’ll post one.

camf · May 2020

(It’s okay... we play in another band together)
