SAVE19: King Alfred Man Of Leisure - 'We Are Submarine" Cassette



KAMOL have previously released various memos and hotwires for Brighton labels SID, Tuff Enuff and Hark! However, We Are Submarine takes a more substantial approach to the interpretation of pop music (and song length) with delightful results. Although mercifully the realm of the serious artist is one steered well clear of, don't worry about that. These latest offerings discuss topics such as men in white vans, the devil and sub-aqua life.
King Alfred Man Of Leisure is Iain Paxon, Jacindy Cartland and Stuart Cartland.

SAVE18: Liberez - Sane Men Surround LP - SOLD OUT

Sane Men Surround is the second album to emerge from Liberez, from the wilds of Southend-on-Sea. It is a record that lurches around Britain's industrial past, and glares at its future. This is not the South-East of organised sport or wine-tasting, but of reduced food that goes out of service at midnight. It isn't even the bobble-hatted embers of London's fading media empire love-ins. It is an album with a brain and a heart, evoking the rumbling lorries of Essex, its scared sober marshlands, and peace riddled battlegrounds.



Limited to 100 copies on 12" vinyl, this is the second full-length LP following from 2011's The Letter on the Alter label. You can listen to the track What's Mine Is Mine Part 2 here while the video to My Madness Offends is available to watch below:

SAVE17: R. Walker - Willow Session CD-R - sold out














CD-R of new material recorded in late 2011. 25 copies made. Photo on cover is of a painting by Harry Pye. Transferred from tape by Tom James Scott.

Review from Put the Music In Its Coffin blog:
“Here's a solo CDr from a member of the Pheromoans, put out on house label Savoury Days, whom we've talked up plenty around these parts already. It's a fragile sort of stumbling, barely-there folk that would enchant the mind of many a dark ale drinking, baby faced Lout. Hey, I think I just described myself! We'll try not to be biased though, because here at PtMiiC we believe in honesty, such a rare quality in "music journalism," and by and large, the world indeed. Throughout the 14 songs in roughly as many minutes featured on this disc tapes crack, half-baked "poetry" (why not?) gets read and Russell strums at his six string with all the bravado of a less competent Corwood rep. (and I'm not throwing out a Jandek reference just 'cos I'm lazy OK? It actually fits for once). I've listened to this a lot, mainly in my car on the way to the work during a number of rainy mornings we've had in early June here in Philadelphia, and it has elicited many a wrinkled brow on that previously mentioned baby face. Much has been said of music (or more fittingly, anti-music) that never really gets going; music that sounds anxious and unsure of itself. But with this thing it's a goddamn miracle that R.Walker can even get out of bed with his hand-held to source field recordings from the local market. He manages to do so though, and I'd say the world's a better place for it. Imagine Pip Proud talking in his sleep, Alastair Galbraith with a couple fingers missing or the least-musically-inclined components of the Dry Leaf roster. Or the kids who backed Trimble covering Donovan. Or trying to play some British SSW/troubadour tunes after a kick in the nards from a strong toddler. Really, imagine these things. This is kind of what this CD sounds like and I find it quite enjoyable. And it's not because it's "shitty" or "inept" either Putzo; it's got fucking class. A good way to get even your most "open minded" of music-liking friends to leave the room when you're ready for some me time. And over my way we call that a gift that keeps on giving.”

SAVE12: Mad Headed Octogram - Speak Ye The Octogram Volume 1: The Unmistakable Fire.. **SOLD OUT**

Mad Headed Octogram is a self-confessed raconteur, the thinking man's Alain De Botton. Guitarist for the South-East's angriest purveyors of 'baggy', the Pheromoans, and the first man in London to don a rucksack, and the first to dismiss them as a 'dead trend,' he sees fiction where others seek truths, or wisdom where others are still smelling the coffee. He counts Shovel from M People among his closest confidants, and it was he who he turned to for help, when opening his new bank account. His stylised poetry can seem too self-conscious at first glance, but settles debates with its frankness, and no doubt starting the odd conflict with its sheer verve. A-Side is a live poetry recording is taken from December 2010 at Ryans Bar in London, with the jazz stylings of Paola Zanetti and Tom Scott on board, in front a small crowd of fellow consciousness junkies. Side B is a studio affair, as Octogram reflects on his time in a Harlem 'flat,' and takes aim at some wearily familiar targets. Check out some live footage of the Octogram here.
