New Album: In the Gardens of the North

In the Gardens of the North

8.0/10 - Pitchfork
9/10 - Drowned in Sound
"An album of rejuvinating beauty" 7/10 - NME
"With In The Gardens Of The North, Starkie has reinforced his status as a dream-weaver and not merely a conventional songwriter." 4/5 - MusicOMH
"Strange, seductive and utterly original" 4/5 - Evening Standard
"Surrendering to these meandering harmonies and his mesmerising voice is to feel thoroughly, wonderfully, lost" - Observer

Order from:
Pure Groove
iTunes

A special hand-screenprinted Sleeping States poster is available only with orders from Pure Groove. Designed by Charlotte Procter and printed by Pure Groove's own Caspar Williamson, this is limited to 50 copies only. It looks like this:

Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love
Das Wanderlust
