One of the tracks recorded for Meursault's crowd-funded, crowd-chosen album made to help fund the band's US tour.

Fans who bought the album through the Kickstarter campaign were invited to vote for five songs - covers or original Meursault songs - with the most popular making it onto the album.

We started recording on February 1st, mixed it between 10th-13th, mastered on the 14th, we've spent between 16th-19th printing the posters and album sleeves, we're folding and packing today and tomorrow is the first launch night. 

There's a daft wee video of the recording process here if you're interested:

Domino is proud to announce 'Look Around', a compiled retrospective from the legendary Beat Happening.   Formed in the early ‘80s at Evergreen College in Olympia, Washington by Calvin Johnson, Heather Lewis and Bret Lunsford, Beat Happening combined a modern primitive pop sound with the D.I.Y. ethos of ‘anyone can do it’ and inspired countless bands and labels along the way. The music community that arose around the band and their label, K, was in many ways, the sonic antithesis of their Seattle neighbors (and friends) but was no less influential. ‘Look Around’ is a remastered, career-spanning double album anthology, handpicked by the band and a great starting point for the uninitiated as well as a refreshing reminder to those who caught the wave the first time around.

The legend of Beat Happening, and of K, is full of big names they worked with before they were stars (Beck, Modest Mouse, The Gossip), and big names they influenced (Kurt Cobain, Sleater-Kinney) Less acknowledged, however, is that the band created some of the most original and surprising music to come out of the often deliberately weird American punk rock tradition.

LYRICS: 
Oh Bob, in the rain, all the pains, of the day. 
No joy, no hope, no mates, no job, oh Bob. 
He walks along, falls down, into a puddle, oh soggy Bob. 
But then a Lizard, a little Lizard, comes to him, 
Says 'Its gonna be alright Bob, its gonna be alright Bob' 

Its gonna be alright Bob. 

Who's That in the Fog?

Wild Mountain Thyme

If I persist through this indecision I will
find I've been chosen again
for all the times I have questioned you
knew nothing of the far side then
when the present sets the precedent
there are no bets against
the courage you've found again
to hold my lens
in the lens that you'd turned against

it's always just a look
sometimes, sometimes a breeze mistook
for a longer love
I didn't turn from

I'm a god damn maniac
there's a multitude of me in every step
no wonder you can't keep track
I'm moltenous and eternally turning back
mostly words with no space behind
baby, it's an honour to bathe in your time
it's an honour to feed on your time
feeding on mine
I'm reeling in the line

six legs beneath me
and a wing that's caught in your page
I'm not going anywhere
baby, let's face it
I can't get away
my courage is weak outside of you
the wind eternally blows in my face
the mountain I'm tasked to climb
just seems to eternally raise
and the cairn I've fashioned out of lifeless things
just dances in the shape of you
it's an honour to feed on your time

if I persist through this indecision I will
find I've been chosen again
to all the times I had questioned
I knew nothing of the far side then
when the present sets the precedent
and the bets no longer against
the courage you found again
to hold my lens in the lens that you'd turned

I will not question you anymore
it's an honour to feed on your time
eat me with your time
mix me with your lime
let me drip through the states of you
that hold whatever regime you hold
a tally and a gift to be born
every blessing with which you're adorned

I'm a god damn maniac
there's a multitude of me in every step
no wonder you can't keep track
I'm moltenous and eternally turning back
mostly words with no space behind
it's an honour to bathe in your time
it's an honour to feed on your time
feeding on mine
I'm reeling in the line

six legs beneath me and a wing that's caught in your page
I'm not going anywhere
baby, let's face it I can't get away
my courage is weak outside of you
the wind eternally blows in my face
the mountain I'm tasked to climb
just seems to eternally raise
and the cairn I've made from lifeless things
just dances in the shape of you
with indescribable grace
