'Giardino, August' physical versions

Each month I make a physical version of the exclusive releases for my brilliant Patreon and Bandcamp subscribers. This is volume 27, 'Giardino, August'. I stamp each disc by hand, write linear notes and type each cover, most often with some fat fingered mistake. Each sleeve is personalised for each subscriber and all copies unique.

I can't really make too many more of these but I do have a few spaces available for the physical edition at the moment. Just €15, including postage wherever you are. Sign up via the button below or simply drop me a message.

‘Giardino, August’ was recorded in one afternoon in August 2022 and features a version of a new song 'You Were Somewhere, You Thought You Were Nowhere', a Lambchop cover and a set of older things.

Also included - a 20 minute, five-part improvisation recorded the same afternoon as a change from all the words.

You Were Somewhere, You Thought You Were Nowhere
The Man Who Loved Beer
Matthew And Robert
One Bite At A Time
Here
Soldier Johny
And I Don’t Know Why

As always, these are released as very limited CD-r editions, which I personalise and send to you, or as a full quality digital download. Each physical edition is available the month of release, the digital whenever. This means that if you subscribe now you get to download all previous volumes, as well as dozens of other songs and images I’ve been making exclusively for subscribers. Here are the links:

'Giardino, May' at Bandcamp

A little EP I recorded a few months ago but somehow neglected to upload is now available on my Bandcamp page here.

It includes 6 songs, one of which is an R.E.M. cover, which I’m leaving hidden until it’s downloaded. Otherwise, goes like this:

Blackwater

Boys, I Am Worried
Pretty Peggy-O
Canary
Leave Well Alone

All recorded in the tiny Giardino house in the countryside near Stuttgart and I’ll have more from this lovely little place in a week.
