   About Albino

When two young boys who were living on the roof of a factory learned that the greatest accordionist of all time, Les Patrick, had gone to be with Jesus, they cut off their limbs and blocked off their olfactory canals in an expression of irrepressible grief. Rescued by a homeopathic masseur, they were restored to health and given prosthetic stumps with which they picked up musical instruments. After a decade they realised sounds could be made from the instruments and they began to perform power ballads and uplifting Christian military band music. Little by little, they are turning into puce birds. Recently described by Blang! (www.blang.co.uk) as: Their new album Bleeding Heart Yard is awash with grand sweeping melodies and vocals which bring to mind West Coast Elektra stuff like Tim Buckley and The Doors.

As well as a quirky humour theres an unfashionable ambition here to write something timeless and soulful.



We've just released our first Christmas single "I Love Everyone" . Available for download from www.tunetribe.com/Albino or on CD single from www.amazon.co.uk

Please buy during the week of 3- 9 December and with a bit of luck you'll see us in the top ten!.

Hey

We're about to record a new EP but can't decide which songs to put on it. To avoid any more 'heated debates' we've decided to let the good people of the internet decide.

If you've got a spare few minutes, please head over to http://www.naomihateshumans.com - have a listen to the songs and rate them. We promise to stand by the opinions of the interweb. Even if you are wrong.

Thanks

Naomi & The Fucks.
