An exciting Bandcamp Friday! Edward Ka-Spel’s new solo album “A Monument to Wasted Tears” is released today while pre-orders are also now underway for the latest Tear Garden album, “Astral Elevator“.

It’s been a challenging Summer. Daily life has been a little frenetic as boxes are steadily ticked in preparation for the forthcoming North American Tour. Even so, there has been time for creation as well and I’m happy to announce a new solo album entitled “A Monument to Wasted Tears”. Initial copies are currently being prepared as lovingly home made CDRs with 4 different front covers while a CD edition is slated for late September in time for the Tour. If funds allow for it, there will be vinyl too! Meanwhile the Monument can be accessed  on TLPD’s Bandcamp and Edward’s Bandcamp.

Brand new Tear Garden is up for pre-order today! CD – LP – Tees, from Artoffact Records. cEvin Key & Edward Ka-Spel are back with some co-conspirators that inhabit The Tear Garden’s “Astral Elevator”. You can pre-order here: https://brap.bandcamp.com/album/astral-elevator 

Additionally, Edward’s exclusive track, The Human Cannonball, from the compilation “When Worlds Collide” can be found on Bandcamp as well.

The first installment of a 76 minute odyssey…

July 1 on a sweltering day in the U.K. Keeping up the tradition of a few years, we’re launching our Annual Sale. Downloads for all titles we control are ‘Name your Price ‘ with no minimum from today. The only exceptions are where a label has control of a title. The Sale ends on the last day of July. Happy Scrolling…and know proceeds go towards The Dots’ forthcoming American Adventure.

When Worlds Collide

Fourth Dimension Records’  Various Artist compilation ‘When Worlds Collide‘ is a 2xLP release that includes a track by Edward Ka-Spel. The first 100 copies of the 2LP also arrive with a vinyl postcard featuring an exclusive bonus track from Edward Ka-Spel called ‘You Are Welcome’.  Find it here.

If Brass Wakes A Trumpet

Sometimes a Labour of love needs a lot of time. That’s certainly the case with ‘If Brass Wakes a Trumpet’. This 3 x cd project from Matt Waldron ( Nurse With Wound, irr.app.ext) was conceived in the wake of a life-threatening health emergency and I’m proud that the Pink Dots played a part in the release alongside friends and contemporaries such as Nurse With Wound, Current 93, Christoph Heemann – the list goes on…As for the presentation, prepare to scrape your jaw off the floor. 7 years in the making, but it will disappear much faster.

It’s almost numbing to think that our cassette release ,’Apparition’ is now 43 years old – but I’m delighted to say that it is now available as a dedicated CD release by the wonderful Klanggalerie label. The sonic overhaul was drastic and painstaking, and 2 extra tracks from the time are added. It’s the Pink Dots’ 45th Anniversary year – expect more dives into the archives as we celebrate this occasion. The link on the label’s website is: www.klanggalerie.com/gg516.
