I should use this situation 
To do a little more for me
A change in job direction
Maybe something I don't hate
But I'll always be as redundant
As a pair of China Skis
I hope you get that reference
I know Josh Jarman will at least...

Maybe if I had any aspirations at all
I could dream of Fridays that don't tell me
That I'm allowed to dress down
Even sad kings get to wear a crown
And I'm too comfy on this throne
I was content with sharing nothing
Now I have nothing on my own.

"Breakfast Records are tickled pink to be releasing the debut album of local lo-fi hero SLONK. 

 'Songs About Tanks' is a gamechanger for this prolific young genius, an incredible, affecting collection of miniature masterpieces. Featuring guest contributions from Fenne Lily, Oliver Wilde, The Gin Birkins and Jamie Cruickshank, the album's credits read like a compendium of Bristol's most important new artists. We've had it on repeat for the past few months and are beyond stoked to finally be releasing it into the wild. 

It is a thing of wonder. Behold."
- Josh Jarman, Breakfast Records

Here is an EP I made over a weekend in September in my bedroom with one mic.

This is not the album to follow up Songs About Tanks I've been banging on about, this is a separate, fun ep. fun. 

All songs written, performed, recorded, produced and mastered by Joe Sherrin on 15th and 16th September 2017.

Artwork by Samuel Bedford.

BREAKFAST RECORDS:
"For our first vinyl release of 2019, we're super stoked to announce 'Holidays', a 7″ inch mini-EP from Bristol's own lo-fi institution SLONK.

An absolute tour-de-force of indie rock, SLONK has made a real name for himself over the past few years, and Breakfast Records is thrilled to finally be putting his wondrous work onto wax. Seven inches of sensational songwriting, Holidays blends elements of garage rock, folk, punk and country. It's truly classic SLONK, with heartfelt themes woven amonst infectious hooks, and we know you'll love it just as much as we do. All pre-orders shall receive a digital copy of a extra 4-track EP along with the 7″ vinyl."

POSTMAN - 7th August 2020 - Breakfast Records
Written, recorded and mixed by Joe Sherrin
Mastered by Shawn Joseph at Optimum Mastering

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I don’t think I’ve had my aspirations through the post yet
Or forgot them years ago..
“Could you ask me another time?
I’m still not sure yet” – 25, 2016
Is the quote I'll repeat until I die

I used to be such a promising boy,
If I'd applied myself I'd probably be an astronaut
At least I never act my age so people don't expect much from me, if at all.
The blame is heavy if it's mine
So I say this is all I need.

If happiness is a portable 16 track home studio
Then I guess I’m happy most the time
I just need something for when I'm outside
And in the events where I close my eyes
Self aware but paralysed 
How do people find the time?
They find success,
They enjoy their lives  

I used to be such a promising boy
If I'd applied myself I'd probably be a hypocrite 
I used to be so much less of a prick,
I used to have dreams that were realistic,
Now I don't know what I need
But I've always wanted to be a postman, 
I told them that at the interview
But I think my genuine ardor
Must have been misconstrued
As sarcasm when in reality id never meant something so much
And I still check the Royal Mail website
With eyes adorned in a glaze of lust
But it's just a dream, it couldn't be,  I'm just an average
Joe, just admit you could be a wicked postman
