News, News, News

I recall last December seeing a few good end of year interviews with the WP's so I'm hoping we are gearing up to an end of the year address from the boy Tattersall et al. I don't know how the gig count adds up but they certainly seem to have been putting in the effort in the last 12 months.

In the meantime..

SONG! - WIAIWYA keep pummeling us with new treats. Go here for their Xmas comp which includes Tattersall and the next best thing - Freschard! Coming Soon too.

KARMA! - Nice article about BITB in Drowned in Sound's round up of "lost" records of 2011.

New Single arrives earlier than expected!

A pleasant surprise tonight as I found the new WP's single in my post box - along with the Werewanda's 7", the first two records in WIAIWYA's new 2012 singles club.

Clearly a labour of love and beautifully presented, I heartily recommend subscribing. Though I was only really interested in the book-ending Wave Pics and Allo Darlin singles I've been mightily entertained by the Werewandas 7" too which, I guess, is the whole point of these sort of things - introducing you to the unknown via the familiar.

I intend to use the Christmas period to get back on my WP reviewing horse so I'll come to the single then. Suffice to say, i've had it 3 hours and spun both sides about 7 times each. Terrific. The Tattersall classic line "We were only free to the extent that we question every single thing we do" immediately jumps out. A return to decorating the tracks with pretty embellishments too after the spare BITB. Anyway, get involved!

Ostensibly put together to promote the new Hayman EP (which, incidentally, is one of the best things he's done and features our boys on a track) everyday this month Fika are releasing a free single to download. Day One is the tried and trust combination of The Wave Pictures and Darren H. Go get it and keep checking the website for future treats in the run up to Christmas Day.
