Spunkle "Live" CDs
The lot of the independent publisher is a hard one. In choosing to hand-craft their wares, they face long, endless weekends and evenings of printing and cutting and glueing and assembling. Slowly, with almost glacial accumulation, piles of CDs amass on every available domestic surface; kitchen table, chairs, stairs etc. The floor suffers from the confetti of snipped label-ends and excess paper. Rubber stamp ink stains your fingers. You go to bed tired and irritable and wondering how you will ever complete enough of them.
But then the time does arrive when you have enough, and when you step back and see the piles of finished articles, packed into boxes, lined up and ready for distribution, a dim sensation passes over you that the effort was worth it (but that next time you really WILL think of a faster way to put the releases together).
Live is released via Cargo on April 27th.

Spring releases from First Fold Records
Published by March 12th, 2009 in First Fold Records, Geography of Nowhere, Spunkle and Them Use Them. 0 Comments
April 27th sees three new releases by First Fold Records. Inheritance of Jackals by Geography of Nowhere is a gentle yet deeply atmospheric album, created for people willing to spend time engrossed in considered listening. Live by Spunkle is a historic artefact in the artist’s history; a release of a single CD-R LP, recorded in a studio and designed to be played live. Gravity You Lucky Lucky Boy by Them Use Them has twelve tracks conceived as tributes to animal astronauts of the 1950’s and 60’s.
All three LPs will be released on 27th April via Cargo in standard First Fold packaging that has been enhanced, distressed and manipulated by the artists themselves.
NSR.., First Fold’s elusive trio, have finally got together to record some new material. The idea was simple: Five hours of studio time, one willing engineer, some pre-recorded percussive elements, a bass, two guitars and the desire to make a racket. The results of these improvised sessions will be chopped and reassembled independently by each of the members of NSR… the results will be released at some point on First Fold Records.
