"Anyone that hears your [forthcoming] album will be impressed. The youth of today have missed out on the golden era of recording; it looks like your album will bring them up to speed on important and enjoyable music."

Wrecking Crew member, genius drummer on The Beach Boys' PET SOUNDS
and Rock-and-Roll Hall of Famer.

I'm making my Top Albums & Top Songs of the Decade list which I plan to post everywhere. And I do believe Playtime might make it in. "Pepper de Milo" is a must for the Top songs!
Just a quick note to let you know that our debut EP, "Willow Pattern Songs" is now available as a digital download from Amazon (UK, US, Germany etc.), iTunes and other good mp3 stores, as well as a limited edition CD from Rough Trade, HMV Japan and Proper Songs.
Hi there! We've got a new EP that we're especially proud of called Summer which is the second in our series of seasonal EPs this year. We'd love for you to listen to the EP online, and to do so, just click on the graphic below. If you like what you hear, we'd be very grateful if you'd support our efforts by buying the EP for €2.50 (around $3.20).
Hope all is going great for you. Thanks for being our friend!
