Run hide retreat surrender

and the "Year(s) 'Talking Songs' Broke"

Second vinyl repressing of my “talking songs” album Run Hide Retreat Surrender’s gone up for preorder via the Numero Group. Apparently the first repressing last month sold out “instantly” so grab one of these from Numero now and smile now or cry later etc.

If you want a look into 2005-2006 aka the “Year(s) ‘Talking Songs’ Broke” here are some photos from those first couple tours. Mostly UK here (opening for Youthmovies) because my digital camera at the time had room for six photos until you put the memory card in a laptop (which I didn’t have), and I wasn’t really documenting things anyway in the sense we do now.

The above photos are by Rob Queenin (when you see the little pistol logo) or Al English or who knows who else. These (below) were the record’s press shots that Four Paws Media used to run their very successful press campaign that gave me my first real audience. Photos by Jessie Duke.

Here are a few more tours shots.
