book of marion - coming soon

details are still a little sketchy, but some stage very soon the world shall see the release of the astonishing 'book of marion' album from the lethal combination that is james p honey & joel siméus, as a beautiful, highly-limited edition 12" coloured vinyl on planck length records.

for my own part, i have a vested interest in the project, as i had the deep honour of getting to guide the album through the mixing stages, and can wholeheartedly state that it is something wonderful indeed. imagine an unofficial sequel to 'rough tongue surfaces' and you are almost there.

be sure to get involved as soon as the time comes, disappointment is an impossibility.

keep safe . be well

iron filings and sellotape - album out now

dearest readers. might i most enthusiastically announce that the iron filings and sellotape album is at last upon us. entitled 'amidst the grease and chaos', the album is a dark, psychedelic journey within geopolitical spheres, which leads us on a hallucinatory path through salvaged loops, field recordings, radio interference and historical documents. 

available in both digital and ultra-limited cd editions from the decorative stamp online store as well as my own bandcamp page, the album is a true joy for the eyes and ears. only fifty copies will be made of the physical edition, which is gloriously packaged in a high-quality envelope replete with album artwork and containing, alongside the cd itself, a wealth of auxiliary materials including lyrics sheet, credits sheets, a statement of intent, a page from a great philosophical work and an iron filings and sellotape sticker.

the digital release contains hi-res scans of all the physical release inserts along with a copy of the relatively-recently unearthed 'war report [salvaged reels]' video. be sure to fix yourself a copy as soon as time and funds permit. the album really is something of a marvel indeed, and how i feel so deeply honoured to have been invited someways within the secretive fold to take part in its creation.

operating failing machinery

yet another extremely busy couple of weeks once again... and how the latest facts in the case are most encouraging indeed. there have been a great many developments within the decorative stamp guild, and a host of other bits and pieces besides. ever onwards and upwards indeed.

most gladly, i can announce that the iron filings and sellotape release is now complete and shall be ready for purchase in both digital and physical forms on monday 22nd august. the last few weeks have seen me compiling all the various elements which make up the release and how it shall be a staggeringly dark, psychedelic listening experience indeed. the whole release is now available to stream in its entirety, both at the decorative stamp page, and on my own bandcamp page... do have yourself a listen, and kindly consider fixing yourself a purchase this time next week.

i have also had word from captain james p honey with talk of the imminent release of the 'book of marion' project, between himself and joel simeus, an album which i had the absolute pleasure of being able to guide through the mixing stages earlier in the year. it shall be available as a super-deluxe coloured 12" vinyl via the good folk at planck length records. be sure to keenly anticipate fixing yourself a copy of that monster when it reaches us, hopefully also on monday 22nd august.

wonderfully, the big news over at decorartive stamp at the moment is the signing of the phenomenal san francisco supergroup papervehicle. i cannot begin to describe how much of a pleasure it is for me to have those guys on board. i am such a huge fan of their music, and how marvelous it has been to be in such close communication with them these last weeks. we are planning a whole host of exciting things behind the scenes, and how more information shall be forthcoming as soon as possible.

in other news, the goats gloom project is starting to reach full stride, and how my book is edging ever, ever close to its first print run, and how the caterers project is slowly morphing from the abstract into the concrete. there has also been dual excitements in the form of the almost complete set of my first passes of the abSUrd instrumentals for the coffin cutters album, as well as a staggering something from the mighty edison, which shall be kept under wraps for now... and, lastly, how 'decorative stamp volume two' is slowly shaping up to be something very special indeed.

all in all, much is afoot, and how there is much to look forward to indeed. so, do keep your eyes and ears peeled for more revelations over the coming few moons, do have a listen and subsequently fix yourself a copy of the iron filings and sellotape release, keep a look out for the 'book of marion', and keenly anticipate a vast raft of new decorative stamp releases as the summer slowly dwindles away into the oncoming autumn. good times ahead indeed.
