The Simonsound

We now have a release date for the Laura J Martin & The Simonsound single on Battered Ornament Records. This limited edition 7” with sleeve by Luke Insect will be available from the 1st of August at all the usual outlets (and the Finders Keepers website)

UPDATE - 7” single now sold out at the Finders Keepers online store. Copies still available from Rough Trade, HMV, Jumbo Records (Leeds), Amazon etc etc.

Find a video here for the A side ‘Inside Your Bones’. The B side is a Simonsound remix of Laura J Martin’s song ‘Spy’.

It has been a long time coming and we are excited to finally get this one out. Here is the blurb…

Finders Keepers’ fitful pocket empire Battered Ornaments Records rears its head once again with another bespoke vinyl release featuring the unlikely but essential partnership of Liverpudlian chanteuse Laura J Martin and The Simonsound - a sonic partnership consisting of Simon James and Matt Ford (DJ Format).

Analogue synthesizers, tone generators, and reel to reel tape machines buzz and whirr amongst the roots of Laura J Martin’s homegrown supernatural siren song as folk traditions merge with The Simonsound’s science fiction fantasies for this hauntingly progressive/regressive experiment.

This strictly limited edition (500 only) vinyl release is the eighth release from Battered Ornaments Records, an independent label with a DIY asthetic producing lovingly made limited vinyl runs of off-kilter independent music housed in jaw dropping sleeves created by top artists and graphic designers.
