  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    A beautiful piece of vinyl, hand-cut with love by Oscar Goldman at the Irrational Media Society, and housed in a poly vinyl outer sleeve which contains a custom-printed card insert, and a printed vellum insert. Your name will be included in the artwork, making each record completely unique. Simply choose up to 6 tracks from the album, and we will cut your unique record. Note that maximum running time is 15 minutes per side (to ensure best fidelity).

    Please see pictures for a guide of how this gorgeous item will look. Please note that these images are of the original limited run - available vinyl colours vary, and artwork will be slightly different for these.

    Not that these are hand-cut to order, when we receive your choice of tracks, and due to the nature of the manufacturing process can take up to 4 weeks to deliver...but well worth the wait!

    Shipping is free within the UK, and a flat rate of £5 to anywhere else in the world. Digital download of the full album is included in the price.

    BUY TWO, AND HAVE THE WHOLE ALBUM ON VINYL!

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Monumental Midden via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.     ... more

lyrics

Shouting, shouting, shouting, shouting
Screaming at the pointless pictures
Bawling like it makes a difference

Cotton wool dry mouth softens at the seams
Opens it once twice three times in the schemes
Falling on deaf ears, suspend disbelief
Wrapped up like Christmas’ shiny glitter grief

Make the best of all things, fake it doesn’t show
Safe mask for the feelings, chance for them to flow,
Open them up wider than all those little men
Safe alone in house and it begins again

Screaming at the pointless pictures
Bawling like it makes a difference

Tiresome tittle tattle and endless pissy wit
No one pays attention, their screens are full of it
Scrolling dead opinions, anyone could care
Measuring the value, momentary share

Echo chamber voices, friends you’ve never met
Sizing up the chances of an odds on bet
Taking time to read more, words that never end
Working on those letters that you’ll never send

Shouting, shouting, shouting, shouting
Screaming at the pointless pictures
Bawling like it makes a difference

Tinnitus and deaf ears, the song remains the same
Heard it all repeated in everything but name
Been around the track so many times before
Tired of being washed up on that grubby shore

Time we started planning, seeds need time to grow
Everything is counted, but when we’ll never know
Clear out your ears, squeegee your brain clean
Start to live the life you say you always mean
