FAQs
Q: Why folded?
A: All the best posters come folded. It’s also easier to send them in the post with flat things like records and t-shirts.
Q: Why distressed?
A: All posters look better when they are old & f**ked up. Our distressed range saves you the time and effort needed to mistreat and age your favourite band poster. This way you look instantly cool like you ripped a bill poster down on the way home from the band’s first ever gig and folded it up to put in the tote bag with the LP and T-shirt you bought at the merch stand.
Description
THE STANDING STONES
Twa Brothers 12″ single with etched B side
featuring Alasdair Roberts
50 million years later . . . following an eternity of random mutations and confabulations of atoms, dust and light, Jimmy Cauty and Jem Finer found themselves in a field in Sussex, wrangling a prone twelve-ton hunk of slate into an upright position . . . The Gurdy Stone . . .
In a recent hiatus from megalith building they have founded a new band, The Standing Stones. Their first release sees them joined by the extraordinary Scottish folk singer, Alasdair Roberts, to record a version of the age-old ballad Twa Brothers.
Epic in length, clocking in at just over 10 minutes, Twa Brothers collides traditional Scottish folk singing with hip hop 808s and sirens, police radio traffic and NYC radio news broadcasts to create a hyper-quantised dystopio-folk-horror soundscape, blurring the temporal zones of the songs’ ancient origins with the near future.
Jem Finer’s hurdy-gurdy shredding and Alasdair Roberts’ vocals are combined to great effect by Jimmy Cauty’s mashup production style.
Recorded at Finer’s London studio (Local Sound) and mixed at Cauty’s mountaintop production facility (The Big Omaha) the record is released on the newly formed L-13 Light Industrial Recordings.
