Jack Lewis
#29 | 13th nov 2011
We're really pleased to announce that we'll be releasing the latest album from Jack Lewis and his band, Awkward Energy, in early 2012.
It's called Lvov Swims the Williamette. I'll update you a bit more soon, but it's going to be amazing!
Atworth
#28 | 19th jul 2011
Atworth is a piano piece by Matt Loveridge, and is the latest stitch-stitch release. Recorded using a dictaphone on top of the piano in a Wiltshire church, Atworth is a shimmering drone that requires an exhausting feat of endurance from its performer. Matt will be playing it at a launch show at Cafe Kino on Tuesday 26th July (event page). He also plays at ATP's I'll Be Your Mirror festival this weekend.
The Middle Ones start their European tour with Best Friends Forever this Friday in support of their recently released debut album, It Is the Rehearsal That Will Make This. Don't miss out!
In further European news, My Two Toms play two shows in Berlin this weekend, and then Bristol Harbour Festival at the end of July. Find all of their tour dates on their great new website. (Buy Who We Were and What We Meant By It, LP)
Dowry
#27 | 28th may 2011
Last month, Polite Records released Dowry, a 10" EP by Tiger + Panda. It's Tiger + Panda's first proper release if you class that as things available from shops, and their fourth if include CD-Rs that they've sent me in the post. It's completely beautiful in every way, from the packaging to the brittle, wintry music within. I wish we'd released this! You should definitely buy it.
News about our next release, Atworth by Matt Loveridge, early next week!
spring updates
#26 | 27th apr 2011Hello,
Middle Ones albums are still flying out - get one here if you haven't yet. Their tour is under way right now!
Great news from François: he's just signed to Domino records. I'm sure his new record is going to blow us all away again.
After quite a few years of absorbing postage costs it now is ceasing to make much sense (especially overseas). From the beginning of May you'll see postage added to all of our shop items.
It Is the Rehearsal That Will Make This
#25 | 13th apr 2011
The copies of the new Middle Ones album, It Is the Rehearsal That Will Make This, have just arrived. All of the pre-orders will be posted out today and tomorrow (and thank you to all of you that have pre-ordered it!); orders from now onwards will be posted out afterwards.
My Two Toms LP and tour | François Show
#24 | 30th jul 2010
So Who We Were and What We Meant By It, the amazing new LP from My Two Toms is out now! At least, you can buy it from our online shop; it won't be out in public for another few months.
The Toms are off to America to tour the mid-west with the incredible Charlie Parr. Check out their MySpace for further information and remember, this is a rare opportunity to get yourself a My Two Toms t-shirt, trucker hat and beer cosy. Let's hope they won't get as drunk as they did last time.
Also, next Monday (the 2nd August) François, Ladybird and Sleeping States are playing a show at the Cube. It's always nice to see victor in the country!
My Two Toms album launch
#23 | 30th jun 2010
The new My Two Toms album, Who We Were and What We Meant By It, is finally here, on beautiful vinyl LPs. The Toms will be having a launch show at the Scout Hut in Bristol, on the afternoon of Sunday 11th July. We'll be getting the album out to shops around the country in August.
Secret Happenings
#22 | 3rd feb 2010
I thought it was a bit silly to still have a Christmas message at the top of this page now that it's February. Stitch-Stitch things have seemingly gone a little quiet at the moment, but I can promise you that there are lots of amazing records that are nearly finished and due to come out in 2010.
The photos at the top are the contact sheet of pictures taken by Tom Cops at Oxjam last year, and feature a good proportion of people involved with stitch-stitch past and present.
Happy Christmas!
#21 | 20th dec 2009
