  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Yes, we still make CDs. Seems mad in this day and age doesn't it? Anyway, it's worth it for the packaging alone - beautiful recycled CD wallets courtesy of WeWow with a lovely design which is rather delightful, especially when you consider that it was made on various buses, trains and beds.


    As ever it's pay what you want, the minimum cost only covers the cost of manufacture of the actual CD.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Cotton Wool and Knotted Wood via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

I have not nor will I leave
Something in which I still believe
For love is such a complex thing
Not simplified by writs or rings

Oil my skin
To keep the badness in
For eyes that see just good
Are as much use now as knotted wood

I have not nor will I fight
For things I don’t believe are right
So pass my shield and dry your eyes
And listen to these battle cries
WOOOO-HOOO

Oil my skin
To keep the badness in
For eyes that see just good
Are as much use now as knotted wood

I demand a thousand days
To make some sense of what we’ve made
I do not want to build on sand
Unstable feet need stable land

Oil my skin
To keep the badness in
For eyes that see just good
Are as much use now as knotted wood

I WILL SAIL…my father’s boat
I WILL SAIL…my father’s boat
I WILL SAIL…my father’s boat
I WILL SAIL…my father’s boat

Oil my skin…

Hope and Social Leeds

In the tradition of the travelling bands, we guess we’re a bit like a Yorkshire E-Street Band...meets Arcade Fire...meets The Faces…meets Dexys Midnight Runners…meets Prefab Sprout…at a party...in an argument about who gets to have sex with David Bowie. We're not as good at describing ourselves as others are, so...
