Literally tens of you have asked about availability of our releases in North America. I am pleased to announce that we now have North American Distribution through the fantastic Coming Home Records 
Our (now) Vancouver based guitarist Paul Elam has a new release out next month under his Fieldhead moniker. Its a wonderfully grainy exploration of how dusty lo fi electronics can be married with eerie vocals to create something akin to if Aphex Twin had got hold of the vocalist of Mum and tortured her in an underground chamber. It features the vocals of our very own violinist Elaine Reynolds amongst others and well worth getting hold of especially for the first 50 which come with an exclusive screen print from Gizeh Records.
Sadly not 'our boys' who reduced our singer to turning the air blue in a field last sunday (no change there then). We, however did a lot better in actually getting our world cup record into a physical format and available to purchase in the three weeks we had between it getting recorded and the World Cup starting. One day i'll write up the full story, its incredible - it will be made into a Hollywood blockbuster - the feel bad story of the year."a million miles away from the usual World Cup song fare, assuredly melancholic, hauntingly sad yet strangely rousing... hits the back of the emotional net with a great piece of build up play from the strummed acoustic guitar and flair from both wings contributed by the lush string section" Norman Records - Single of the week
"a well timed curio about the current Pan-Galactic Soccer Tournament, and it is not half bad. This seems a feat of strange magnificence given our other World Cup musical options………" Drowned in Sound
“an epic, string-laden piece of indie magic, bringing memories of ‘Fear Of Drowning’ era British Sea Power and won’t leave you in tears after yet another penalty shoot out nightmare.” 4/5 God is in the TV
“Yearning and mournful resignation, are the themes. Triumphalism and hubris have been wisely avoided. My personal World Cup 2010 Top Tip if you care more for music than goals” 8/10 Whisperin & Hollerin
“Has about as much to do with the World Cup at heart as Colourbox's Official World Cup Theme - even the sampled commentary is from a non-World Cup game, being of John Barnes' famous goal in the Maracana - but the Hood side project do good things marrying the influence of striped sunset sound of the Go-Betweens, Lucksmiths etc to pre-Ibiza New Order” Sweeping the Nation
"The left-of-centre football anthem for 2010" Jumbo Records
We are trying to forget about England's miserable showing on saturday and instead concentrating on the great football elsewhere and the huge amounts of love being shown to our new single which if its not in the shops now, should be in the next few days.
