Smoking Is Cool...

Despite the release being single-sided, the tracks are split up into 'sides'. In reality, all tracks are on one side. Credits are as per both sticker on release and additional promo information, hence some seemingly redundant credits. Limited of 40, each release is slightly unique in some way as described below. A digital version ([r19765570]) could be requested as well on ordering/ownership. Variations include sleeve colour, label design and sticker placements. Began shipping out on the 11th of August, hence release date - preorders were available from the 6th. Sleeve colours - yellow, orange, (light) blue, (dark) green, red, purple Label designs - swirl, cubes Sticker placements - base-left, base-right, opening-left, opening-right (all stickers appear to face upwards towards the base) For more in-depth variation info, discernable from promotional images are: Green base-left swirl, green base-left cubes, green base-right cubes, green op-left swirl, at least one green undiscerned Orange op-left swirl, orange op-right cubes, orange op-right undiscerned (possibly swirl), at least two orange undiscerned Purple base-left swirl (no. 29), purple base-right cubes, purple op-left undiscerned, at least one purple undiscerned Yellow base-left swirl, yellow op-right cubes, at least one yellow undiscerned Blue base-left cubes, blue op-left undiscerned, at least one blue undiscerned Red op-right cubes, at least one red undiscerned 18 more undiscerned On-site Bandcamp description: 6 tracks including 5 brand new Stephen EvEns songs recorded by Steve Albini over a long weekend in France with Jen Macro (Guitar) & Jimi Scandal (Bass Guitar) in March 2020. Recorded in the south of France just before lockdown we are releasing a limited run of just 40 copies. Individually numbered one sided clear l12” records. Each record comes in a different coloured sleeve/artwork combination and is lathe cut making each piece unique. It is only available physically via Bandcamp but comes with a download of the files on request with your purchase. The 5 new songs were written specifically for this recording session. It was asked that the band perform at least 3 songs and that should include at some point an acoustic guitar and piano recording. Stephen used this opportunity to squeeze 5 songs into the short amount of times they had with Steve’s considerable engineering skills which resulted in this mini-album. The 6th song is a homage to the band Shellac, a cover of their instrumental “Kittypants” from the album “Excellent Italian Greyhound” which was played entirely on Casio keyboards including use of the legendary VL-Tone. This was recorded separately at home and sent to Shellac for approval. Approval was granted. This will not be made available on any streaming platform.
