Japanese Television are a psychedelic space-surf band influenced by the likes of
Hawkwind and King Gizzard. This does-what-it-says-on-the-tin release collects together
their long sold out first EPs and adds in tracks from a Marc Riley session. Expect
heavy motorik rock and sunny day surf on an album that serves as a nice stop gap before
they furnish us with a debut LP.

The re-issue of The Projects 2004 debut album Let's Get Static pressed on to vinyl
for the first time - Originally released on CD by the legendary Track & Field label,
this vinyl press is highly limited to 300 copies on heavyweight 180g citrus colour
vinyl.
The Projects is a high energy post-punk & krautrock pop blend featuring Amanda
Gomez of Saloon. Let's Get Static is the debut album from the Projects, combining
heart stoppingly catchy dance tunes with social commentary. Favouring electronic
pop with an undeniably human heartbeat, this will make you shake to the repetitive
structures of everyday life. The Projects follow the map drawn up by the Gang of
Four, translating sociological analysis into pop poetics verging on the non-sensical.
The Projects formed in 2001. Band leader Graeme Wilson died unexpectedly in December
2011. The other band members including Mira Aroyo (Ladytron); Alex Lawton Mawdsley
(Passive Clouds); Dino Gollnick (Lightspeed Champion), Koichi Yamanoha (Grimm Grimm,
Screaming Tea Party), Ricky Maymi (Brian Jonestown Massacre); Mon Chan (Bo Ningen)
finished the fourth and final album Elektrichka's Favourite Party Record, which was
finally released on Tip Top Recordings in 2014. This re- issue on the same label
continuing Graeme's rich legacy.
