will the penny ever drop? will the delusion ever stop? I’m not looking for trouble, I’m not after company, I’m really not in the market for anything you could offer me don’t get me wrong I’m not saying that you do it deliberately but your a kind of a magnet that’s just no good for me will the penny ever drop? will the delusion ever stop? personally I think not, but hey, that’s just me! are you still looking for trouble? are you still looking for company? are you still in the market for some tragicomedy? Stan Laurel meets Thomas Hardy, life’s little ironies are maybe not quite so little, or laugh out loud funny.

about

So here’s our latest digital download only 7” single.

The A side is just another slice of dream pop inspired by a dreamt dinner party with Thomas Hardy, Stan Laurel & David McComb, so no change there then.

The instrumental B side, as per our usual MO, is a peculiar blend of distorted thin line Tele, flanged 12-string Strat and Mellotron sad strings blissed beyond recognition .

We hope you find something here that floats your crystal ship.

It would be awesome if you shared the link with someone with a similar taste in cheese & wine as yourself, anyone you would occasionally fight over the fondue with or might simply choose to raise a glass to, thanks awfully!

“be seeing you!”

if you like shoegazing and slightly dreamy goth, you might have a listen, what Ian did with a guitar still wipes me out to this day PARRAMATTA

April Love / Downfall (2 Track Tape-Only Release)
by Spellbound

First time as a band in a studio, a product if it's age, a full baggy beat with a sonic guitar layered throughout. If you like Lush and the Cocteaus you might want to have a listen. PARRAMATTA
