So things have been busy in the Sleeping States arena lately, I assembled a band and went on tour around the UK for two weeks, and I put an album out. And then I got swine flu, which is why I’m only telling you now.

But yes, I have a new album out! It’s called In the Gardens of the North and is available on LP, CD and MP3. You can buy the mp3s from iTunes, among other places, and both physical formats from all good record shops around the country. If you buy the CD from Pure Groove you can get a limited edition screen-printed poster with it, and it’s signed too (if you care about such things). You can also buy the LP from there too.

I also put a cassette single out! The tracks for this are:
Side A: Gardens of the South / Final Island
Side B: Early Morning in Feltham

‘Gardens of the South’ appears on the album, and the other two tracks are exclusive to the tape. You can buy the tape from Rough Trade, among other places. There’s also a video for ‘Gardens of the South’, which I posted in an earlier post (scroll down).

Think that’s it for now. If you’re down Bristol-way tomorrow Sleeping States are playing at the Cube with Fringes and I Know I Have No Collar, who are both brilliantz.
