That up there is a new video from it. The album, The fourth LP by The Indelicates, was funded by pre-sales and has been released to backers in three parts over the last six months. It is now available in it’s glorious entirety.

You can buy a digital copy from any of the usual outlets, but we’d prefer it if you bought it straight from us on the all-new corporate records site:

[Corporate Records]

Similarly, you can buy a CD or preorder a Vinyl LP from our shop:
[Indelicates Shop]

HOW YOU CAN HELP…

As ever, we are dependant on you to get the word out about this release. If you have a moment and would like to do us a favour – you might consider doing any of the following:

1. Share this link on your twitter, facebook or other social network of choice.

Social Networks are evolving and these day, actually posting the link stands a better chance of being seen than ‘liking’ – especially if you add a line about why you are posting it, tag friends or get into an argument about it underneath.

2. Embed the new video on your wall, blog or high end media news portal

3. Send the press release to any journalists, radio stations or influential tastemakers in the young affluent demographic that you know

the press release can be found here, as a publicly viewable google doc:

[here]

4. Send tracks to people who you think could benefit from some us in their lives

5. If you bought a preorder package or anything else tangible that has arrived and that you like- take a picture of it, tag it and post it.

6. The album is available on iTunes, Amazon and the rest – if you really want to help us out, high ratings and positive reviews go a long way.

We can’t believe how well this all went. If you’re reading this, there’s a very good chance that we owe you a debt of gratitude – so thank you very very much.

A few days ago we reached our goal on our low-key kickstarter and we will, therefore, be making lovely shiny black records with Diseases of England on. There are still 15 days left to pledge yourself and be first in line to receive one.

Why should you still pledge?
Well, here is a short list…

1. You guarantee yourself a copy.
2. Any money over and above the target will be spent on making a better product – gatefolds, for example, cost about £300 more, and if there’s enough in the kitty we’ll get them. Heavy black vinyl costs about £100 more etc.
3. We are very likely to come up with some way in which the vinyl that pledgers get will be better than the vinyl we sell later – we’re not sure what yet, but it IS totally the kind of thing we would do.
4. To get back at your neophile parents.
5. Because of sticking it to the man in some way.

So if you’re not amongst it yet – get down!

Also, thank you very much to everyone who has pledged – we really wanted a copy for ourselves too, so we’re glad we can have one

We’ve decided to end the pre order period for Diseases of England – If we don’t have your order for the three part CDs by the end of February 4th, you’ll have to wait until the official release to get hold of a copy.

Largely this is because we keep running out of stock that we thought was suitably abundant when we ordered it, but which has repeatedly turned out to be of inelegant insufficiency. This is a very good thing – but as we go into the studio in a week and a half to record part three (the demos of which are sounding quite massive and alarming) – we need to know final numbers.

We know that some of you have been having a bit of trouble getting the money together and we don’t want to deprive anyone of CDs if they want them – so if you really really want one of the three CD packages but can’t afford one right now – let us know before the end of tomorrow and we’ll make sure we have the stock available for when you can. After tomorrow night, we won’t be able to order any more though so it really is your last chance.

In addition, we’re going to continue taking orders for amended higher level packages that include only the final CD album right up until the final release date.

We’d like to thank all of your who have been part of the preorder thing – it’s been wonderful and awesome and we’re so grateful to have had the opportunity to keep working on this record. We hope you like the bits you’ve got and we’re pretty sure you’ll like the bits you haven’t heard yet. It literally wouldn’t exist without you and your collective economic weight and that’s pretty amazing when you take a moment to think about it. You are a direct, unmediated, ungoverned cause of this album’s existence – no one needed to be hyped, press released, packaged, signed, discovered or upsold. No one was involved except us and you and it still got done. I think we’re all entitled to at least fifteen minutes looking quite smug about that.

Part Three will be sent out during the second half of march.

Postscript:
Quite a few of you have said that you are willing to pay extra for vinyl – but not quite enough. We’ve got an idea to help us make the final decision which we will tell you about in a day or two. keep em peeled, pop fans.

I hate end of year lists – in fact I hate the whole urge to categorize and impose order on the ineluctable chaos of existence. I hate Nick Hornby Books and alphabetisation and boring MAN things that MEN do. I hate that Carly Rae Jetson song and I hate it when people like things because they are ‘pure pop genius’ because there isn’t any such thing and I hate it when they like things because they are sweet and innocent and sexless and white and so much more morally acceptable than that dreadful dusky one who appears to like cocks too much AND I don’t even remember her being in the Jetsons, unless she was Judy and she changed her name.

Year end lists are the worst. Either self-validating auditions for a career remembering the 80s for money or just crushing disappointments when you realise that the bands you loved at school have succumbed to the dullard charms of whichever billowing sub Virginia has sexily warbled her way into the hearts of all the fifty year old men over the last twelve months. Hock spit and fuck it.

But SEO, yeah? Can’t just not post anything in the current media climate, can you? So here’s my top things that I did in 2012 because if we’re going down the route of self-promotion, showing off and smugness, let’s dive in face first.

Bands (I’m in/involved with) of The Year
The Indelicates, The Thlyds, Keith Top Of The Pops And His Minor UK Indie Celebrity All Star Backing Band

Song (I wrote) of The Year
Probably Le Godemiché Royal from Diseases of England Part One - it is one of the better songs I’ve written where Marie Antoinette wanking in a satirical pornographic pamphlet from pre-revolutionary France is used as a metaphor for the entrenched and unacknowledged elitism of the public school educated commentariat.

Gig (I played) of The Year
The Thlyds tribute show at Guided Missile. Did you form an Indelicates, KTOTP, Art Brut, Gay Dad supergroup to play a one off tribute concert to a band you may or may not have made up who have a song called ‘Song About When Lewis Met His real Dad But he Just Told Him To Fuck Off’? No? I win then.

Video (I made) of The Year

‘I Used To Sing’. Of the two videos I’ve made, this one was made more recently and is therefore better.

Joke (I wrote) of The Year
For some reason people on facebook were coming up with blaxploitation versions of 2012 hit films and I suggested ‘The Cabin In The Hood’ – that was pretty funny.

Book (I wrote) of The Year
No one has it yet, but the unfilmable David Koresh Superstar screenplay that comes with the more expensive preorder editions of Diseases of England is ace.

TV show (I created) of The Year
**************redacted****************

Toy (I helped design) of The Year
Gobbles.

Children’s Song (I recorded) of The Year
The Ballad of Indiana Bear

Children’s Book (I wrote) of The Year
Flopsy Bunney and his Friends

Album (I produced) of The Year
Thalidomidas Touch by The Thlyds

Tweet (I did) of The Year
Maybe this one: “My least favourite bands are the ones that actually are the band we used to think it was necessary to describe ourselves as in press bios.”
Or possibly: “Sheeran, a man who has performed the seemingly impossible and demoted hucknall to second least welcome ginger gremlin in music.”

I don’t know, I don’t really remember – I only found those ones by signing up for a favstar account and now I have a favstar account and will have to go through 2013 with that hanging round my neck.

Will that do?

HAPPY NEW YEAR, kids and stunted adults. SEE YOU IN IT.

The New Indelicates Album is called ‘Diseases Of England’ and it is in THREE parts.

Part II (featuring “I Used To Sing”, “Class” and two more tracks) is finished and ready to be sent to the manufacturers.
Parts I and III will be recorded in two separate sessions in the upcoming months. In order to fund the completion of the project, we are now offering you the chance to preorder and help us put everything together.

To do that, and to watch “I Used To Sing”, the second video from the album, go here:
http://corporaterecords.co.uk/artistnetwork/indelicatesshop/diseases-of-england/

http://www.indelicates.com/album4launch/

CLASS IS THE FIRST VIDEO TO BE RELEASED FROM THE NEW INDELICATES ALBUM:

“DISEASES OF ENGLAND”

WHICH WILL BE RELEASED IN THREE PARTS, STARTING OCTOBER 2012.

WE WILL RELEASE THE SECOND VIDEO, “I USED TO SING” AND START TAKING PRE-ORDERS FOR AMAZING ALBUM PACKAGES IN ONE WEEK’S TIME.

WE’LL BE DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR TO A KICKSTARTER, BUT WE WILL BE PROCESSING EVERYTHING OURSELVES AND THERE WILL BE NO ‘PAYMENT ON REACHING TARGET’ STUFF – WE’RE GOING TO GUARANTEE EVERY ORDER AND MAKE A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL THINGS ANYWAY – BECAUSE WE’RE ANNOYING LIKE THAT.

Watch this in a fancy cinema, catch up on old videos and read more about how you can help here:

There will be A-Team Indelicates news immediately after this release, but in the meantime, we would like to urge you in terms bordering on the aggressive to preorder your copy of Thalidomidas Touch on CD now. Featuring production by Simon Indelicate, contributions by Julia indelicate and Various by Keith Top Of The Pops – this CD package that we’ve put together is missing from your life.

Rumours that the Thlyds don’t actually exist are entirely unfounded. The CD definitely exists and there is more evidence for them than Jesus.
