Gracing the club this week, is new work from Copenhagen bedroom pop
mastermind, Benjamin Eroglu - better known as Eerie Glue. Under the EG
moniker he’s put out a number of great EP’s perfectly suited for lonely evenings and introspective train journeys as well as a recent split EP with our very own Joey Fourr.

Whereas past offerings have seen Eerie Glue‘s heartfelt utterings relayed over gooey layers of fuzz; ‘Go‘ showcases a cleaner sound akin to some of the best part‘s of the most recent Kurt Vile LP. Thankfully the songwriting technique has remained, which Benjamin describes as “straight from the top of my head and out through my heart”. As with many of his previous songs ‘Go‘ is about love, but particularly about moving on to something better. It was written in 20 minutes, recorded in his Copenhagen bedroom and will feature on a forthcoming EP so grab a free download whilst you still can!

3 physical ‘Pizza Box‘ versions of the single will go up for sale at 1pm (GMT). You can also join the Pizza Club by purchasing shirts, bottle openers, patches or even for free over on our Pizza Club homepage - http://artishardrecords.tumblr.com/pizzaclub14

Eerie Glue - Go

Hibou - Hide Away

Start Again Again

Baroque pop with a punk soul. Strings and horns wrap around confessions of pain and rejection. Beautifully bitter.

Chained

Sweet Moon

Another sad pop superhit from Gorgeous Bully with vocal duties shared with Rebecca Lima of Whorish Boorish . 

Thomas has allowed us to share this track as a musical apology for the delay with the Gorgeous Bully / Something Anorak split 7" that was due out in June. Due to extreme delays at the pressing plant, frustratingly we won't have the records until the end of September. This is obviously horrible for us, the bands and of course anyone that pre-ordered. Hopefully these two and a half minutes of fuzzy brilliance will go some way to thanking you for your patience.

If you didn't pre-order, it's not too late: http://artishardrecords.limitedrun.com/categories/gorgeous-bully-something-anorak

the worlds an oyster
lifes a race
but im stuck lying here 
half awake

nothing to do but dream of you

its motivation i cant find
always something
never the time

nothing to do but dream of you

Gorgeous Bully - Nothing To Do

Taken from the forthcoming album Penrose Winoa, pre-order here: http://www.artishardrecords.co.uk/categories/oro-swimming-hour

Today we're extremely excited to announce the debut album from Oro Swimming Hour; a magical two piece featuring Bristol's own Oliver Wilde and children's book illustrator Nicholas Stevenson (also of Lucky Shivers). The 16 track album mastered by Orchid Tapes Warren Hildebrand is full to the brim with freak-folk anthems, lo-fi bedroom pop and the sound of Elliot Smith summoned to a torch-lit seance. 

Penrose Winoa was recorded in the space of five short days in the living room of Oliver's shared house using analogue equipment. If you listen closely enough, amongst the hiss and crackle of the tape fuzz you'll pick up the comings and goings of various housemates as well as Sparklehorse the cat. With no track lasting longer than 3 minutes the album passes by in a breeze whilst inducing the feeling of a pleasantly sticky summer day. 

The album is due for release on 28th July on ltd edition splatter effect 12" and also on all the normal digital places, you can pre-order it now from our shop and you'll receive an instant download of two tracks. 

We'll also be hosting an extremely special release party in Bristol in At The Well Launderette on 21st July. Limited tickets are available for £5 and include a free risograph print designed and hand-numbered by Nicholas. There will also be a full tour announcement soon, but get in touch if you'd like Oro to play your living room, kitchen, garden or local launderette.

Oliver has always been a personal hero of ours, Nicholas has created some of the best art to ever grace an Art is Hard release and Warren from Orchid Tapes had added just the sort of magic mastering dust you'd expect from someone who had a hand in Alex G's DSU. We really can't wait for you to hear this one.
