We're delighted to be teaming up with long-time AIH pal Gorgeous Bully as well as relative newcomers Something Anorak, for a four track split 7" due for release 27th May.

The two bands met whilst both living and playing in Cornwall in early 2011 and bonded over a shared love of boisterous lo-fi music. In the five years since, Something Anorak, consisting of cousins James and Chris Barrett, moved to Bristol; released an album on Howling Owl and split time writing music between working as a plumber and a postman. Meanwhile, Gorgeous Bully's Thomas Crang moved to Manchester and with no such restrictions on his time, has spent 5 years of unemployment ascending the stairs of bedroom-pop stardom whilst sharing a steady stream of songs that are "ugly and bummed and uncomfortable in all the right ways.

The split features two tracks from each band and is set to be released as a cherry red 7" record on May 27th.

ALSO 
We will be releasing a special Record Store Day version of this release - limited to 25 handcut & handnumbered 7" records. You'll find 5 in Rise Records in Bristol, 5 in Piccadilly in Manchester and 10 at our release show in Bristol at The Crofter's Rights that night.

Gorgeous Bully - Beaucoup

Lyrics:
She don’t know who I am — 
I told her I’m her friend
I’m feeling so left out
Please don’t buy into doubt
I can’t find in-between
That’s what you taught to me
Just take it all and leave me

He got cold feet again
He’s stuck inside his head
That dog won’t bark again
No leash can comprehend
That terrible rainbow
Got off from your sorrow
Your teardrop doesn’t show

Hold on
I’d like to
Get through it
This time
I might
Undo it
I’d just like to
Rewind

She don’t know who I am
I told her I’m her friend
I’m feeling so left out
Please don’t buy into doubt
I cant find in-between
That’s what you taught to me
Just take it all and leave me

Sell every inch
of yourself 
to the spaceman
try to buy me back
I’m not for sale anymore

(Hold on
I’d like to
Get through it
This time
I might
Undo it
I’d just like to
Rewind) x2

Rewind

I see the sun rise
It makes you smile
You dream of freedom but you've been dying for a while
Purple curtains cover eyes
No need to ever go outside
Nothing ever changes here
Except the times that disappear
Synthetic memories
That we can keep
Synthetic lips that
Kiss you to sleep
Synthetic memories
That we can keep
Synthetic lips that
Kiss you to sleep
You hold the bath tub
Your stomach opens
The sunlight falls out as it sets into the ocean
Purple curtains cover eyes
No need to ever go outside
Nothing ever changes here
Except the times that disappear
Synthetic memories
That we can't keep
Synthetic lips that
Kiss you to sleep
Synthetic memories
That we can't keep
Synthetic lips that
Kiss you to sleep
I see the moon stay
Still for hours
You're stuck daydreaming, decomposing in the flowers
Purple curtains cover eyes
Don't need to ever go outside
Nothing ever changes here
Except the times that disappear
Synthetic memories
That we can keep
Synthetic lips that
Kiss you to sleep
Synthetic memories
That we can keep
Synthetic lips that
Kiss you to sleep

Synthetic Memories

It’s funny how all the demos we’ve accumulated can change over time ... Sometimes the early versions & rough mixes that stick out the most now didn’t when we were making them, as is the case with ‘Habits’. 

We originally bounced this mix when we were still working on overdubs, but then we lost the project file after Chris spilled a bunch of coffee on his laptop.  We rediscovered this version while sifting through demos one night at our house a couple months later.

If we could reopen that file, I’m sure we’d find some shitty preset sounds, a guitar amp simulator on the vocal track, and tons of crude, approximate EQ and compression.   If we still had the Logic file, we'd probably want to change and rerecord a bunch of stuff.  In a way we’re thankful that this particular track is frozen in time, because if we had a chance to dive back into it, I’m not sure we’d be able to get into the right headspace to improve on it.  

After the coffee spill we started backing up all our files to de cloud, and we'll probably continue to exhaustively revise our current projects, but just this once it’s kinda nice to release something we never got the chance to split hairs over. 

“Habits" is the first song we’ve released where Chris (keyboard + guitar) sings lead vocals.  It's the first song off Loosies, a collection of demo versions & B-sides from the sessions for the Baby Blue Suede EP that came out last year.  Loosies is out 2/16, along with a deluxe cassette from Invertebrate Music.
