17.08.2020 – The pre-sale of the new Uffe Lorenzen album Magisk Realisme begins today
Uffe Lorenzen (alias Lorenzo Woodrose) is the frontman of Baby Woodrose and Spids Nøgenhat but for the past couple of years he has been recording and performing under his own name and been singing in Danish. His new album is called Magisk Realisme and is released September 11th on Bad Afro Records.
Magisk Realisme is his third solo album in four years (Galmandsværk 2017 / Triprapport 2019) but in contrast to the first two albums which was mostly acoustic and had a 12-string guitar as the main instrument, the new album is a ROCK album. Uffe Lorenzen has been missing that side of his songwriting and several of the new songs sounds a bit like Baby Woodrose in Danish while others have the laidback psychedelic feeling of the Danish Grammy-winning band Spids Nøgenhat. Lorenzen plays all instruments himself besides an occasional pedal steel guitar, cello and trumpet.
The 10 songs on Magisk Realisme was written in a period of time when Uffe Lorenzen did not have a steady place to live. With help from friends he was staying in 9 different apartments in a short time during the summer of 2019. This rootless way of living reflects in the songs that are written in various parts of Copenhagen. The album also deals with loneliness and the feeling of being a bit lost even though you are living in a big city with lots of people surrounding you.
Magisk Realisme is produced by Uffe Lorenzen and Anders Onsberg in the great STC studios in Copenhagen in the spring 2020. It is mastered by Flemming Rasmussen at Sweet Silence. The vinyl version comes in a neat gatefold cover and the first print on black vinyl is limited to a 1000 copies. Order HERE
15.05.2020. – New The Love Coffin video released today
Stripped Down is the third and final single By The Love Coffin from their new album Second Skin. The song is now out on all digital platforms but you gotta check out this cool video. Yasser Yassin is director of photography / editor, Steffan Rimmer is producer and Yasmin Elisabeth Sundoo is the beautiful actor.
08.05.2020 – New Uffe Lorenzen single out today
Lad Det Gå is the first single taken from the upcoming Uffe Lorenzen album Magisk Realisme which is due for release in September 2020. Magisk Realisme is the third Uffe Lorenzen solo album in 4 years (Galmandsværk 2017, Triprapport 2019) and unlike the two first albums that were mostly acoustic the new one is a rock album. Some of the songs clearly have a Baby Woodrose vibe while others could be compared to Spids Nøgenhat. And there will be a few surprises going in other directions as well. Lad det Gå belongs to the Baby Woodrose school of songs. A melodic garage rock song with a good hook and a positive message that gives hope in the difficult times we are all living in at the moment.The video for Lad Det Gå is directed by Palle Demant. It was shot in a deserted Tivoli in Copenhagen last week.
24.04.20. – The new The Love Coffin album is released today
In the past couple of years Copenhagen-based five-piece group, The Love Coffin, has established themselves as one of the most noteworthy and potent acts on the Danish rock scene. The debut album Cloudlands from 2018 showcased their potential and with their new album dubbed Second Skin due for release April 24th 2020 the band sounds like they are ready to take everything to a new level.
Second Skin is produced by the band’s guitar player Kristian Alexander Pedersen and English producer Guy Fixen whose prior work includes collaborations with Pixies, Stereolab, Breeders and Slowdive as well as releases on legendary record labels such as Creation, 4AD and Beggars Banquet. Guy Fixen spent a few weeks in Copenhagen working in the studio which turned out to be a wise move as the new songs are shining brightly and sounds better than ever before.
The Love Coffin has a unique sound that captivates the listener with enticing intensity and contagious energy. The 10 songs included on Second Skin are quite diverse ranging from the sonic blast of “Seasick” to the haunting opening song “Stripped Down” while “A Shrinking Thing” is melodic and optimistic. But the most remarkable thing about the band is Jonatan K. Magnussen’s wildly intimate, volcanic vocals and the cinematic expansiveness of the sonic imagery his bandmates conjure around him.
One of The Love Coffin’s main assets has always been their passion. That has been proven numerous times at their acclaimed live shows and the very same intensity and nerve can be heard on Second Skin, where the band also discovers new sides of themselves. Listen on Spotify HERE or Bandcamp HERE
18.03.20 – Pre-order The Love Coffin – Second Skin LP
The new The Love Coffin album Second Skin will be released April 24th on Bad Afro Records and Third Coming Records from France. First print is limited to 500 copies on black vinyl. Pre-sale begins today and all orders will be shipped April 20th. Order HERE
20.01.20 – New The Love Coffin album and show at Loppen
In the past couple of years Copenhagen-based five-piece group, The Love Coffin, has established themselves as one of the most noteworthy and potent acts on the Danish rock scene. The debut album Cloudlands from 2018 showcased their potential and with their new album dubbed Second Skin due for release April 24th 2020 the band sounds like they are ready to take everything to a new level. The Love Coffin will play a release show at Loppen in Copenhagen a few weeks later on May 23rd. The tickets are on sale HERE
Second Skin is produced by the band’s guitar player Kristian Alexander Pedersen and English producer Guy Fixen whose prior work includes collaborations with Pixies, Stereolab, Breeders and Slowdive as well as releases on legendary record labels such as Creation, 4AD and Beggars Banquet. Guy Fixen spent a few weeks in Copenhagen working in the studio which turned out to be a wise move as the new songs are shining brightly and sounds better than ever before.
05.10.19. – New The Love Coffin video for Nothing At All
27.09.2019. – New The Love Coffin single Nothing At All out today
In the past couple of years Copenhagen-based five-piece group, The Love Coffin, has established themselves as one of the most noteworthy and potent acts on the Danish rock scene. It started with the release of EP’s Veranda (2015) and Buffalo Thunder (2016) and continued in 2018 with the critically acclaimed debut album Cloudlands on which the band continued to unfold and explore their signature sound marked by melodic shoegaze-hooks, gloomy atmospheres and epic soundscapes of biting noise rock.
Now the darksome rock outfit is announcing the release of the new single “Nothing at All” from a forthcoming album on Bad Afro Records, the label also responsible for Cloudlands. “Nothing at All” is produced by the band’s guitar player Kristian Alexander Pedersen and English producer Guy Fixen whose prior work includes collaborations with Pixies, My Bloody Valentine, Breeders and Slowdive as well as releases on legendary record labels such as Creation, 4D and Beggars Banquet.
“Nothing at All” finds The Love Coffin soaring in an either of lonesome Americana-vibes. The song is driven forward by a well-placed string section and the haunting harmonica creates an intriguing yet sinister mood along with the acoustic guitar phrases and lead singer Jonathan K. Magnussen’s expressive vocals.
One of The Love Coffin’s main assets has always been their passion. That has been proven numerous times at their acclaimed live shows and the very same intensity and nerve can be heard on “Nothing at All”, where the band also discovers new sides of themselves. Listen on Spotify, Apple etc. HERE or on Bandcamp

For the first time in 15 years Dropout! by Baby Woodrose will be available on vinyl again on Bad Afro Records. The album has been remastered by Flemming Rasmussen at Sweet Silence and is limited to 500 copies on green vinyl. It contains 10 covers where Baby Woodrose pay homage to both obscure and more well-known bands who have influenced them when writing their own songs. Pre-sale begins in August.
Some of the liner notes explains the origins of the album:”As much as we love playing a few of our favourite songs by obscure sixties garage bands when we play live, we also think our albums should reflect the creativity of our own originals, so the four covers we did when we recorded our Money For Soul album in October 2002, quickly ended up collecting dust in the Bad Afro vaults. We also recorded six more about a year later while doing some demos for our next album and eventually agreed to collect all those covers on this fine little release”.

I Lost You In My Mind (The Painted Faces)

Finally this album will be available again. Originally released in 1997 on Helicopter Records in approx. 400 copies Head Entrance has long been one of the most hard to get On Trial releases. Just check Discogs.
Formed in 1986 On Trial was an important part of the Danish acid rock, garage and stoner rock scene and Head Entrance was the first album in a trio of their best work. New Day Rising followed in 1999 and Blinded By The Sun in 2002. Later on members of On Trial spawned acts such as Baby Woodrose, Spids Nøgenhat and Dragontears.
Head Entrance was recorded strictly analogue on an 8-track machine in the rehearsal-room of On Trial in 1996 and the music has been transferred from the original mix tapes in 2018 by Anders Onsberg and remastered for vinyl by Flemming Rasmussen at Sweet Silence. This re-issue comes in a neat gatefold sleeve with an insert and first print is limited to 500 copies on black vinyl.

After two promising EPs, ‘Veranda’ (2015) og ‘Buffalo Thunder’ (2016), the Copenhagen-based rock quintet The Love Coffin is finally ready with the debut album ‘Cloudlands’, which will be released September 28th on Bad Afro Records.
‘Pure’ is the first single and a song that clearly shows a band with a unique sound that captivates the listener with enticing intensity and contagious energy. An acoustic rhythm guitar creates the percussive drive and together with the explosions of the electric guitars form the perfect sonic frame for Jonatan Magnussen’s theathrical vocals – steeped in personality and character.
In other words: it is written with flaming letters that The Love Coffin mean business with equal flaming passion. A band that truly brings ferocious bite onto the Danish music scene, as evident on this single that showcases the potential as well as sets the expectations for the bands upcoming debut album. An album definitely worth waiting for! You can listen on Spotify, Apple and Tidal HERE or in the Bad Afro shop HERE. Or simply watch the video made by Palle Demant.
03.05.2018 – On Trial – New Day Rising pre-sale begins today
Re-issue of this classic On Trial LP originally released in 2000 on Delerium. Some would argue that New Day Rising was the best album the band ever did and for many years it has been very hard to find on vinyl. This re-issue of New Day Rising is a split release between our friends and UK label Cardinal Fuzz and Bad Afro Records and is limited to 350 copies on black vinyl. 140 copies will be sold through the Bad Afro Bandcamp shop. It has been remastered for vinyl by Chris Hardman and is featuring the original artwork by Dan Abbot. No copies will be available in the record shops. Pre-order begins today. All pre-orders are shipped on the release date May 18th. Get your copy HERE
22.02.2018 – The Love Coffin will release debut album on Bad Afro

So far they have released two 12″ EPs and the first single from the upcoming album is expected in May. Until then listen to their latest single New Morning Light.
01.02.2018 – Blows Your Mind and Third Eye Surgery back in stock March 16th
Baby Woodrose – Blows Your Mind
Re-issue of the classic Baby Woodrose debut album limited to 500 copies on yellow vinyl. Baby Woodrose was at the time in reality a one-man operation by Lorenzo Woodrose who wrote the songs, played all the instruments, produced the record together with Riky Woodrose and put it out on his own Pan Records in 2001 on CD while Animal Records in Spain did the vinyl version.
Blows Your Mind is still one of the most popular Baby Woodrose records and in 2009 Bad Afro re-issued the album for the first time since the price of the album at that point had gone through the roof and was sold for around 200 Euro. Blows Your Mind is more obscure, psych and lo-fi than the newer stuff but the songs are every bit as cool! Presented in a daring sleeve by the internationally known artist collective Malleus sure to raise an eyebrow or two.
Baby Woodrose – Third Eye Surgery
Re-issue of the 6th Baby Woodrose album ‘Third Eye Surgery’ originally released in April 2012 on Bad Afro Records. Limited to 500 copies on orange vinyl. All Baby Woodrose albums have a different vibe and with ‘Third Eye Surgery’ they have made their space rock album. For the first time Lorenzo Woodrose integrate the heavy psych of his side projects Dragontears and Spids Nøgenhat with the fine song writing of Baby Woodrose.
No matter how much the fuzz guitar is wailing or the echo machine is tripping, there’s always a good song hiding beneath the rumble. Several songs clocks in at six minutes so there are only 9 of them on ‘Third Eye Surgery’. Songs like “Nothing is Real” and “Love Like a Flower” have an Eastern flavour thanks to the sitar of Vicki Singh while “Just a Ride” sounds like a trip to India in more than one way.
Even though the central songs on ‘Third Eye Surgery’ like “Waiting for the War”, “Bullshit Detector” and the title song are very spaced out there are also a few songs that stick out. “Dandelion” is a sweet and melancholic psychedelic pop song and is also a duet with Emma Acs while “Honalie” is a dreamy ballad that makes time stand still. Almost.
‘Third Eye Surgery’ has been recorded in the Black Tornado studio in Copenhagen and is engineered by Anders Onsberg and produced by Lorenzo Woodrose. The artwork is made by German artist Kiryk Drewinski.

08.09.2017 – New single from Uffe Lorenzen (Lorenzo Woodrose)
Uffe Lorenzen is the frontman of Baby Woodrose and Spids Nøgenhat but from now on he will be recording and performing under his own name and be singing in Danish. The first result is the new solo album Galmandsværk (loosely translates to “act of madness”) that was conceived during a vacation on the island Gomera near the coast of Marocco where Uffe Lorenzen stayed in a small room doing nothing but writing new songs.
“Flippertøs” (Hippie Chick) is the first single from Galmandsværk. While the rest of the album sounds as if Baby Woodrose, Spids Nøgenhat and Dragontears merged and turned into something new, “Flippertøs” stands out as the most traditional pop song on the record.
Uffe Lorenzen: “Flippertøs was an attempt to write about all the things I missed about being home in Copenhagen, meanwhile sitting all alone, staring at the ocean and playing my guitar on a small volcanic island for 10 weeks. The lyric ended up namedropping a lot of my favourite places in Copenhagen, like Loppen, Floss, Kronborggade, Lygtens Kro, etc.. I guess it is a song about longing on many levels, but there is also a bit of social criticism in it. MAYBE the hippie chick in the song IS Copenhagen?”
“Flippertøs” will be available digitally September 8th. Galmandsværk will be released November 10th on LP/CD and digital. Listen to Flippertøs right HERE or watch the video HERE
15.08.2017 – Goodbye Lorenzo Woodrose … hello Uffe Lorenzen

15.05.2017 – Bad Afro vs. coloured vinyl
Did you know you can tell which print of a certain Bad Afro Records LP you own or are likely to purchase? Black vinyl is the first print, red vinyl is second print, green vinyl is third print, purple vinyl is 4th print, blue vinyl is 5th, white vinyl is 6th, orange is 7th and clear vinyl is 8th print.
Of cource there has been some fuck ups along the way like the Baby Woodrose LP Money For Soul which has been printed at least 4 times on black vinyl but only recently has been printed on coloured vinyl. But general rule is black, red, green, purple, blue, white, orange and then clear vinyl. Blows Your Mind by Baby Woodrose is so far the only album printed on clear vinyl.
13.04.2017 – New Baby Woodrose re-issues out May 5th
Baby Woodrose – Love Comes Down LP
Re-issue of the third Baby Woodrose album originally released in 2006. Love Comes Down has a good mix of garagerock stompers and more melancholic songs and the sound is slightly more polished than on the two first albums. Limited to 500 copies on purple vinyl.
Baby Woodrose – Baby Woodrose LP
Re-issue of the 5th Baby Woodrose album originally released in 2009. The self-titled album was the first album released after the first incarnation of the band broke up and Lorenzo Woodrose carried on alone. A very varied album including the broken Kinks riff in “No Mas” that sounds like a punch in the face to the epic ballad “Countdown To Breakdown”. Limited to 500 copies on purple vinyl.
05.04.2017 – Baby Woodrose returns to Roskilde Fesival
Bad Afro Records is happy to announce that Baby Woodrose will be playing at Roskilde Festival 2017. In addition, Lorenzo Woodrose will also play a solo show
at the festival this year. The story about Baby Woodrose vs. Roskilde Festival is that they played on the camping stage (now called Rising) in 2002, then elevated to opening the main Orange stage in 2003 and closing the same stage in 2004. All the band ever wanted was to play one of the “smaller” stages at the festival and it will finally happen this summer. Oh yes!

Re-issue of the second Baby Woodrose album originally released in 2003. On Money For Soul Baby Woodrose created a unique sound that took them to the 60′s and back leaving the music being influenced by many shades of rock’n’roll and psych but played with heartfelt punk attitude. The album contains their biggest hit so far; Everything’s Gonna Be Alright. Artwork by Malleus. Limited to 500 copies on green vinyl. You can listen/pre-order HERE
08.01.2017 – Baby Woodrose live on National TV

15.12.2016 – Baby Woodrose re-issues coming up
2016 was a busy year with new releases by Telstar Sound Drone, Bellhound Choir, Baby Woodrose and Narcosatanicos as well as the Bad Afro anniversary in November. So now it is time for a small break and 2017 will be quite different for Bad Afro. Instead of new releases time will be spent on doing re-issues of vinyl from the Bad Afro vaults. Fans of Baby Woodrose will be in for a treat. Third Eye Surgery and Chasing Rainbows were re-issued on LP in 2016 and in January 2017 Blows Your Mind will be back in stock. Money for Soul is coming in March and Love Comes Down and “S/T” will be back on vinyl in May. And maybe it’s time to get some of those Dragontears LP’s back in print. We’ll see.

20.05.2016 – Bellhound Choir album released today
The Bellhound Choir album Imagine The Crackle is out today on LP (including a CD) and as download/streaming. You can listen to the full album below.
10.05.2016 – Bellhound Choir: New album and European tour with John Garcia
The debut album by Bellhound Choir called Imagine The Crackle will be released next week (May 20th – pre-order HERE). Bellhound Choir has a preference for the blues but there is nothing nostalgic about the music. It’s very here and now and is mixed up with alternative folk that is both gloomy and melancholic. Main man Christian Hede Madsen has a past in the Danish stoner rock band Pet The Preacher which also shines through in the music and all together it ends up sounding like some sort of Scandinavian blues noir. The album has has a dark soul and sometimes it sounds like judgment day is just around the corner.
In December last year Bellhound Choir supported John Garcia (ex-Kyuss) on his European solo tour and it went so well that they will do another round of shows in Europe beginning in Hamburg May 18th. As Bellhound is on tour on the day of release of the album there will be no release party this time around.

16.11.2015 – Book about Spids Nøgenhat released today
The book ‘Mere Lys – Historien Om Spids Nøgenhat’ is out today. It took about a year to write it so it feels good that it is finally out now. The book is in Danish which unfortunately excludes many fans of On Trial, Baby Woodrose, Dragontears, Aron and Spids Nøgenhat from reading it. The book has 148 pages and includes more than a 100 photos and illustrations that never have been published before. All Danish bookshops can order it home as it is distributed by DBK in Denmark. So if your local bookshop don’t have it in stock you can ask them to order it. Route 66 in Aarhus and Copenhagen have it and you can get it online at the Bad Afro shop, Karma, Arnold Busck, Bog & Idé, Saxo, Boghandleren, William Dam and the Gaffa shop.
08.11.2015 – “New” Baby Woodrose video discovered
An until now unknown Baby Woodrose video has recently been discovered. Back in 2009 the director Adam Olsson began the recording of a video for “Countdown To Breakdown” taken from the self-titled Baby Woodrose album released the same year. The video was never finished and has since then been collecting dust on an old hard drive. Olsson recently found it again and decided to finish it by adding some psychedelic visuals.
Adam Olsson is best known for his video for “Lolland Falster” by Spids Nøgenhat but he has also done the video for the Baby Woodrose song “Dandelion” (a duet with Emma Acs) as well as clips by The Good The Bad and The Setting Son. He also played guitar in Baby Woodrose for a couple of years.
02.11.2015 – Reception at Route 66
There will be a reception for the new Spids Nøgenhat book at Route 66, Fælledvej 3, 2200 Copenhagen N next Friday the 13th of November at 17.00.

15.10.2015 – Bellhound Choir on tour with John Garcia

Thomas Løppenthin from Borderline and I finally finished the book about Spids Nøgenhat and sent it to the printer. Well, the book is also about Baby Woodrose, Dragontears, Aron and many other bands that was spawned from On Trial. Release is set for November 16th. The book will be in Danish which will unfortunately exclude many fans of these bands. Sorry about that.
New releases coming up. This coming spring the second The Telstar Sound Drone album will be released featuring two members of Baby Woodrose and Hobbitten from Spids Nøgenhat. Also, the debut album by our new signing Bellhound Choir will be out in the spring next year. A new album by Baby Woodrose and a 12” by Narcosatanicos should be out in the fall 2016 as well. If everything turns out like it should.
12.08.2015 – New signing on Bad Afro: Bellhound Choir
Bad Afro is happy to announce the signing of a new Danish act. Bellhound Choir is the solo project of singer and guitarplayer Christian Hede Madsen. In April he released the EP ‘Stray Screech Beast’ online (vinyl version out late August on Lay Bare Recordings from Holland) that showcased a dark, stripped down alternative blues sound that intrigued us even though it’s pretty far from what we normally release. The EP can be heard below.The upcoming Bellhound Choir debut album is already recorded and is even better than the EP. The album is called ‘Imagine The Crackle” and is produced by Sebastian Wolff from Kellermench. It’s due to be released on Bad Afro in 2016.
Christian Hede Madsen used to sing and play guitar in the Danish stoner and classic rock outfit Pet The Preacher which is now on hiatus.

08.04.2015 – New logo for Forlaget Bad Afro
Now that Bad Afro is about to release a book about the danish band Spids Nøgenhat a new logo is needed. Thanks to Peter Markham (who did a LOT of the Bad Afro artwork in the early days and was the inventor of the original logo) for making this update of the logo that showcases our new intellectual standard. This book is also the reason why there is quiet on Bad Afro right now. I am taking a break from releasing records but after the book-mania new releases by Baby Woodrose, Telstar Sound Drone and Narcosatanicos are in the pipeline. Next year Bad Afro Records will not be a teenager anymore as the label turns 20 years old. Have to figure out how to celebrate that as well.
16.03.2015 – It’s all too quiet, baby!
If you think there is quiet on Bad Afro these days you are completely right. The last release was the Janitors 12” in September last year and there will be no releases this spring. The reason is that a friend and I are writing a book about the Danish band Spids Nøgenhat and that will take all my time the next coming months. The book will be published on Bad Afro in November as an independent book. After that the plan is to be going back to releasing sweet vinyl. The next coming releases are a Narcosatanicos 12” and the second album by Telstar Sound Drone. Hopefully a new Baby Woodrose album is getting closer as well.
05.03.2015 – Spids Nøgenhat will be playing the following shows in DK in the fall
19.09.15 – Voxhall, Aarhus (pre-sale)

17.02.2015 – Spids Nøgenhat will be playing live in Tivoli in Copenhagen May 1st
31.01.15 – Special edition of The Dandelion – S/T 12″
When Bad Afro released the now sold out debut 12” by The Dandelion early last year we had to call back the entire pressing as there was a small scratch on one of the songs. It was not a big deal but still too annoying to let go. A new batch of vinyl was produced and inserted into the old sleeves and we tried to have as many records returned as possible. We got most of them back but there is still 70 copies out there with the scratch. This means that there are 70 EPs left without the original sleeve and they will be sold as a special edition version in a black sleeve with a Bad Afro logo. This version will only be available at the BAD AFRO SHOP and when we attend record fairs. Like tomorrow at Nørrebrohallen in Copenhagen. Listen to the 12″ HERE

12.12.2014 – Baby Woodrose – Blows Your Mind LP back in stock
The 7th print of Blows Your Mind is now in stock and this time it’s on orange vinyl. Blows Your Mind is the classic debut album by Baby Woodrose originally released in 2001 on main man Lorenzo Woodrose´own label Pan Records. Lorenzo wrote the songs and played all the instruments himself and although the sound is more lo-fi than usual on a Baby Woodrose album the songs are among the best he ever wrote. Blows Your Mind was originally issued on vinyl on a Spanish label in 2001. There is believed to be 1500 copies in circulation and the album is now a much sought after collectors item going for insane prices on E-bay. Bad Afro decided to re-issue the LP in 2008 to make it available at a reasonable price. The Bad Afro version has been mastered by Jürgen Hendlmeier (the original version was never mastered) and is wrapped in a stunning gatefold sleeve with the original artwork by Malleus. Listen to the album HERE
09.11.2014 – And the Winner is….Spids Nøgenhat!
Spids Nøgenhat won a Danish Music Award for Best Danish album of the year and an award for best live act. Even though it’s a high-five from the corporate and mainstram part of the record business it’s great to see outsider rock being honoured.
14.10.2014 – Dolly Rocker & Telstar Sound Drone back in print on LP November 3rd
Telstar Sound Drone – Comedown LP (red vinyl)
The debut album by Telstar Sound Drone originally came out June 6h 2013 and contains a good mix of feedback-ridden psychedelic rock and slow heavy psych. From the blistering Evaporation to the shimmering Feels Like A Ride Telstar Sound Drone are not here to give you some easy listening. The band are currently working on their second album due to be released in the fall 2015 and is featuring members of Baby Woodrose, Spids Nøgenhat and Bite The Bullet. Limited to 500 copies on red vinyl. Listen to the full album right HERE
The Dolly Rocker Movement – Our Days Mind the Tyme LP (red vinyl)
This is the third The Dolly Rocker Movement album and the only one that has been made on vinyl. It quickly sold out when it was released February 2nd 2010 and many people have asked for a reprint. Our Days Mind the Tyme owes it’s genesis to the psychedelic 60s, and the influence of Sky Saxon, Arthur Lee and Syd Barrett, yet sparkles as bright and fresh as the morning sun. DRM does not exist anymore but front man Daniel J Poulter is moving forward with his new project The Dandelion. Limited to 500 copies on red vinyl. Listen to the full album HERE
