sometimes, in the bullring  / camp kelly calm

our first proper single, for the laundrette recording company of sheffield. Recorded by oursleves, i’ll play and you point the mic, it still got played on radio 1. came with 4 different sleeves from bastardized postcards, in a hand stamped sweetie bag.

yes! you talk too fast / down on the farm

split single with sunset cinema club. For the bsides, they played a song called candles that we wrote, and we play ninki vs dingle, what they did write. unity! The sleeves had 3d artwork - ghosts vs dinosaurs, and each copy had a pair of 3d glasses in th slip.

our first proper, real album, recorded at the machine shop in new jersey in winter 2007, while we were staying in NYC being bedazzled by everything. the uk release has interchangable covers. some singles fell from it:

our bipolar friends b/w the houseparty scene is  killing you

eyes wide terrified b/w what burlesque won’t stand and i heard, he ties up cats

salt, pepa and spinderella b/w remixes by dolby anol, bloc party and niribu

djs get doubts / lea room

our bipolar friends and eyes wide terrified have bsides recorded with harvey at southern at various times early 2008. Salt, pepa and spinderella was on a 10″ yellow vinyl. Djs/lea room have no bsides. We were sooooo busy. Sorry.

grace and the bigger picture

our new album! Recorded in 2 and a bit weeks between tours early this year, on borrowed gear by alex newport at futureshock studios in brooklyn. We think its ace, we want you to hear it NOW! but, you have to wait…

feels like summer b/w camp kelly calm and wow just wow

also, you may have seen these 2 lurking in yr internets somewhere-

we left you sleeping and gone now

is is a bunch of (pre kelly) country songs that birthd our band, we recorded it ourselves in summer 2005 at our old lock-up in digbeth east side, we made 40 copies, with a stupidly complicated handmade cardboard sleeve in th shape of a house. It sounds totally different to the us of now. The version thats floating around th internet has some extra songs we’d totally forgotten about..

i like you mostly late at never was an internet only 17 song compliation, almost every song we wrote in 2007 before we signed to best before including the two laundrette singles and a load we’d re-record bettererer for the album.
