Soap Library is tickled pink to release the original soundtrack for That Paradise Place, an erotic puppet musical about the love, sex, and fantasy lives of artists with disabilities debuting at Abrons Art Center on November 1 & 2, 2024. 

Created and performed by Pussypaws Puppetry under the guidance of sisters Priscilla Frank and Alana Hauser, the freewheeling musical is supported by colorful cast of visual artists, musicians, and performers with and without disabilities and and presented by Summertime Gallery, a Brooklyn-based studio, gallery, and residency for neurodiverse artists. Indie rocker and high school teacher Graeme Daubert heads up composition, arrangement, and recording duties. 

The album’s twelve songs — all titled a derivative of “... is Full of Love” — take risks and embrace silliness. The creation of each song began with a first-person story shared by an artist with a disability. These stories then embarked on a collaborative, alchemical journey — adapted into songs, adopted by puppet alter-egos, embodied via dazzling, larger-than-life puppets, and finally brought to life on the big stage.

In a culture that often overlooks the internal worlds and erotic desires of people with disabilities, That Paradise Place forms a creative community where all facets of our humanity are worthy of being seen, sung, and celebrated — a shame-free space where creation is an act of love, and love is an act of creativity.

The soundtrack to That Paradise Place is available on Friday, November 1, 2024 alongside a sachet of dried rosebuds, a soft nod to the flower behind the puppet troupe’s name and a humble reminder that pleasure and sensuality are all around us. Shop generously — proceeds support Pussypaws Puppetry in achieving its next big puppet dream!

The next release on Good Morning comes from Matt Werth, both label owner & operator of RVNG Intl, plus also its holy communal space, 'Commend' in New York.

If there's one person who embodies the true spirit of what Good Morning is celebrating & researching, it's Matt.....
And its an absolute honour to welcome such a beautiful being to the Good Morning circle.

Presented here is an hour long mix pieced together with warm hands in a cold winter basement. 

Imagine icy frost on a cold window pane, as you sit gazing outside.... though glowing on the inside with warmth & love.

Or put simply....
'Knowing only that the invisible force
Of which our bodies are the fragmentary rainbow reflection'

Available for pre-order now via the Good Morning bandcamp store, with tapes being distributed in Mid March.
