The new album!! It's a piece of top quality cardboard with a large circular (180g heavy) vinyl inside that emits sweet sounding (good old-fashioned) analogue music when tickled gently with a needle.
In other words it's a record... with an absolutely fantastic sleeve by artist Jean-Baptiste Longuet, an inner sleeve with even more beautiful artwork plus photography by Geoff Pe. Full lyrics and liner notes included.
Oh...and then there's the music: written and recorded between Australia, France and the UK, these songs have been lovingly mixed (by Philippe Avril at the mythical Ferber Studios in Paris), mastered (by Jim Demain at the equally mythical Yesmaster studios in Nashville USA) and finally painstakingly etched onto vinyl at Parélie Paris (what a beautifully crazy process...)
We humbly present the result of years of work involving many skilled hands.
Includes unlimited streaming of I died of boredom & came back as me
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

When all this was new to me and your love was news to me too
I creased up, I folded, I took on the imprint of you
Did not predict a time I would be whiter than snow
Oh, don't wanna be a…
Paper man, drawn in the margins of a bigger plan
A little slip of paper man
Crossed out corrected, does the best he can.
You leaned in and told me that 180 Grammes you'd allow
I said, forget the weight of me, look at the state of me now
Pumped up on vitamins, white noise and calcium too
You don't want a...
Paper man, drawn in the margins of a bigger plan
A little slip of paper man
Crossed out corrected, does the best he can.
What does it mean to count on yourself and wait for the day to come?
The day's too long...
Paper man, drawn in the margins of a bigger plan
A little slip of paper man
Crossed out corrected, does the best he can
Don't wanna be a paper man
drawn in the margins of a bigger plan
A little slip of paper man
Footnote to history, does the best he can
I felt the rain but I thinned out to filter it through.
