Things coming....

Yo!

All of you should be well...I hope you are!

Lots of things going down at Wild Animals Towers (Box Hill, Victoria):

Just finished the Crap Crab release...it's called 'Bohemian Crapsody' and it is a totally improvised 15min jam. I don't know how these guys do it! I refused to believe it is improvised (...it is)! I'm still being secretive about what this release is...but I can say I am am super proud of this one. The bands copies are in the post, as soon as they tell me they've got 'em, they'll be in the shop. THERE WILL ONLY BE 25 COPIES!

Also, they have another brand new track on this outstanding compilation from the dudes at Riot Season Record back in the Motherland....it's only £5 for 76 tracks!!! It is also for a good, nay, GREAT cause. Poor old Peter Kemp who the compilation is in honour of is now sadly no longer with us...his record reviews were/are always an entertaining read... http://peterkemptheworldisyours.bandcamp.com/releases



Lonely Wholesome 7"s are on their way to Oz (that's Australia, not on their way to see the wizard). I'm not sure I can express how please I am to be putting this 7" out. Sleeves and inserts are getting rubber stamped by the team (that's me...) this week and the road trip to pick them up from the lovely lovelies at R.I.P. Society in Sydney is being planned! That one will be 400 copies, 100 of which are coloured vinyl.
In the meantime, Jonah is in another band you might have heard of, you can buy their new album here... http://www.galleryac.com/fucked-up-glass-boys.html



Raul Sanchez i Jorge has given me a copy of his album (debut album i'll have you know) and FUCK, it is AMAZING! Hey, don't go thinking "ahh, he's bound to say that...he's putting it out!" ...this is a cracking album. I'm about to coin another new genre (see 'Hard-Pop')...here it comes....'Cowboy Drone'! This album is just amazing...I LOVE IT! Anyway, in the mean time you can see Raul rocking out with Aussie 'Next Big Thing' Violent Soho in front of a few thousand people when he helped them out at a show last week... http://youtu.be/IX9ekFwL2hs

Stay tuned, dream boats

'Sheen' by Sheen ...for sale NOW! only 42 copies mind...so be quick!

Hi Skeletons, I've just added the new album from Sheen to the shoppe...

wildanimalsrecords.bigcartel.com

I've just spilt my own lovely review of the band out the top of my brains...it's in the shop thing.
But here are some other kind words peeps have written about them recently:
independentmusicnews.co.uk/review-sheen-st
freedomspark.co.uk/review-sheen-sheen

...and even the NME got involved: "London six-piece Sheen might just be the midpoint where Sonic Youth and The Perks Of Being A Wallflower meet. Made up of members who come from Wales, Poland and beyond, their twisted take on dream-pop and shoegaze is gloriously seductive, the sound of a band revelling in a unification of different cultures.

Anyway, the poor buggers have split up. When I heard their last show in March 2014 was also their album launch gig, I got in contact to see if Wild Animals Records could do a physical version...happily, they agreed! I'm glad i got to see them a bunch of times while I lived in London.

There are only 42 copies of this and eight copies are earmarked for the band and myself. So, only 35 for sale...so move quick! It comes in a silver screen printed and hand-numbered black Arigato Pak. CDs are hand stamped and there are a couple of card insert that actually look quite professional!

UK pals, current exchange rate makes this about £8.00 delivered. BARGAIN!


Next up we've got a super nice Crap Crab thing and the Lonely Wholesome 7"...exciting!

Sheen (ex-band from London)

Hi you y'all, all the bits for the Sheen CD arrived this week so I should get them done this weekend (maybe...I'm going to see Midnight Woolf on Sunday).

Anyway, if you really can't wait you can buy a boring old download from here.

Also, they sent me the 'thank you' list they wanted in the CD too late...so just read it on that link above...ok?! (Sorry Sheen).

Also, my pal Dave helped me out with the more computery stuff on this one...people kept asking me about DPI...I told them, I'm not into that, my back door is one-way only, baby!!
Anyway, you can get his help too here...dch.do ...he's so talented that if he wasn't my pal I'd be sick in his letter box, and I'm not talking 'DPI'...!?
...oh, and this is his fave song...

CareerMadSmartUp...

So Humans, we at Wild Animals Records are really excited to be putting out a mega slice of super hard-pop from multi-instruMENTALIST and all round, all rounder, Lonely Wholesome!!

Lonely Wholesome, for those who don't know, is Jonah Falco...the man who puts the Career in Career Suicide, the Mad in Mad Men, the Smart in Smartboys and the Up in Fucked Up...yeah!

Anyway, it should be up in the web shop thing sometime in mid-May and I'll get it into so REAL shops too. The versions in the REAL shops are a special edition where you have to spend money on some other stuff too to be able to get it (...this is a joke about spending more money in record shops...I think!).

Seriously though, it's going to be a limited 7" with hand stamped labels and sleeves. The first 100 copies will be on coloured vinyl and I won't do any pre-order thing because that's when things get messy! So, if you wanna drop your styli on one of these first hundred copies, drop me an email and I'll put you on my list....it's over there on the right, right?

There will be other things coming soon too...and I'll get over adding links, ok?

Please have fun

Hi, so...i'm doing things through this 'spotblob' thing now. Hopefully it means I can keep you more up to date on things that are coming from Wild Animals Records.

There are some great things coming soon so keep 'em peeled (your eyes) (...not literally!)....

Lonely Wholesome 'Lethargy' 7"
Sheen 'Sheen' CD
Crap Crab 'Crap Jam, Crab Paste' CD

...ok, i made up the name of that last one, but it is coming. I'm woking on a crab shaped inner sleeve inside a crab pot shaped outer sleeve! I hate myself that much!!

Have fun x
