January 2008 HAPPENING FOOT VILLAGE The album ‘FRIENDSHIP NATION’. Release date: 10th March 2008. Oh my! Pure incredible. LA’s Foot Village, feat members of Gang Wizard (Ecstatic Peace/Load) and Friends Forever (Load), have delivered their most amazing recording yet. No electricity hardcore. No jamming. No drum circles. Foot Village have created their own country and the songs on Friendship Nation (recorded by Jonathan Snipes of Captain Ahab & mastered by Pete Swanson of Yellow Swans) are reports on what life in Foot Village is like. It is a nation unlike any other and only by visiting can you really know. Life is fucking beautiful.

TOME002 OUT NOW!!!
Caz Mechanic / Ray Rumours & the No-Eyed Deers Split CD EP
Available here: TOME ONLINE SHOP Or from all good indies. Distributed by Cargo. Nine Songs
Artwork by Andrew (Yeborobo / Mentalist Association)



www.playlouder.com:
"The latest release from the excellent Tome stable (who brought you Sleeping States), this EP is a split between Seafood and Hush the Many drummer Caz Mechanic (AKA Caroline Banks) and Ray Rumours & The No-Eyed Dears. Recorded late at night, the Caz Mechanic tracks are superbly understated lo-fi in the vein of Cat Power et al, songs where the hiss and (no) fuss of the recordings are instrumental to their success. Especially good is the whispered, haunting 'In The Old Gum Tree', and the lilting 'Domino Song'. It's a hard act to follow, but Ray Rumours (a project of Electrelane bassist Ros Murray) comes up with the goods, five tracks of simple acoustic guitar and perfect harmonies, the odd hint of Spanish guitar ('Si Me Das A Eligir') and a live knees-up ('Staying In'). A release that sees one of the UK's finest lo-fi labels letting forth yet another quiet gem."

Three ARTISTS : format/quantity/art/music all fully dependent upon the three artists involved. Yeah, to clarify: in it's simplest form it might be a cdr with the music of two bands in a sleeve designed by a visual artist. But in its more conceptual form the third artist may document the release as a performance or a piece of writing or a film, or fuck, whatever ITS A COMPLETELY EVOLVING PROJECT and the first one features CAZ MECHANIC & RAY RUMOURS
