A GLIMPSE OF STOCKING
Hello all,
After locking ourselves away for six weeks in deepest Surrey, on a
diet of glogg and cheese footballs to get us in the spirit, we can
announce that our long promised Christmas album A GLIMPSE OF STOCKING
is finally ready. It will mix eight old (some very rare) songs with
seven brand new ones. All of the new ones are written by us except for
WINTERTIME LOVE which was written by proto-goth legends The Doors.
Other treats to accompany a feast of port and stilton include the
saucy UNWRAP ME, the Daft Punk meets Lieutenant Pigeon rave-up GONNA
HAVE A PARTY, and the Rea-in-reverse WELCOME HOME, ready made for a
Woolworths ad that will sadly never be. Pete has also written a
cracking uptempo melancholy track with an Ennio Morricone/New Order
feel that is so new it doesn't have a title yet.
Now, not everyone feels quite the same way about Christmas as we do
(especially birthday boy Bob, who thinks he owns it) so this will be a
limited edition of 3,000 numbered copies, available for the 2010
festive season only. And unlike FOXBASE BETA it won't be available in
the shops.
A GLIMPSE OF STOCKING will be available to pre order for a limited
period between 7pm (UK time) on Wednesday 3rd November and Midnight
(UK time) on Saturday 20th November. After that, the shop doors will
shut as we'll have to get them in the post. We'll mail out details of
the link from which you can buy it a few hours before the on-sale time
next Wednesday.
The album will be available to buyers all over the world at three
price levels:
i) £12 for the numbered CD album
ii) £16 for the numbered CD album with a Christmas card signed by all
three band members
iii) £150 for the numbered CD album, a personally dedicated Christmas
card signed by the band, plus an extra CD with a PERSONALLY DEDICATED
CHRISTMAS SONG, sung by Sarah, not available on the main album. This
is the only way you'll be able to get this song! And your name will be
in the lyric!
Albums will be shipped between 26th-29th of November so they should,
postal workers willing, reach everyone well in time for Christmas. The
maximum number you can order is three copies.
The gorgeous artwork, and the card, are both designed by Lora Findlay,
who designed the sleeve for Tales From Turnpike House.
A Glimpse Of Stocking. It's the perfect Christmas present to yourself!
love Sarah Bob and Pete xxx
