Zombie Zombie – Battleship Potemkin
Monday, December 14th, 2009
This weekend I’ve been in Paris to see our pals Zombie Zombie play a live score to Battleship Potemkin at the very nice amphitheater in Cité de la Musique. Great show, and an interesting audience – 50% Parisian hipsters X 50% Parisian OAPs? – but somehow it all came together and judging by the triple standing ovation at the end most people seemed to have enjoyed themselves. I’m hoping for more shows like this next year please.

More niceness from Tartaruga Records. This time the new album by Bleeding Heart Narrative. Once again the CD is initially released in an edition of 200 screenprinted + stictched sleeves, all hand-numbered and featuring illustrations by Bleeding Heart Narrative throughout. The package also includes a 12panel booklet and a small, but beautifully formed, bonus screenprint. Available now from Tartaruga or Norman Records.
Kelpe – Cambio Wechsel
Monday, September 28th, 2009
Here’s a quick look at our sleeve for the new Kelpe album Cambio Wechsel. The cover and CD Booklet feature the great man himself taking a little subterranean adventure, and is due to be released on DC Recordings around October 19th I think.
They’ve also made this rather nice animated webpage for all those pre-orders…
Max Bondi – M

Beautiful new CD sleeve from Tartaruga Records. Most of the releases on the label so far have been beautiful, but this one in particular is something special I think. Illustration by Bruno Jones, edition of 200, all screenprinted and stitched by hand! Stunning.
