Hello, Mildly Curious Americans Who Might Find This Website Looking For Stuff!

We know how it is – you met us at the end of the night and you kind of liked our stuff and you shouted over the DJ: ‘WHAT WAS THE NAME OF YOUR GROUP?’ and we shouted back something indistinct that you pretended to hear because you were being nice but that actually could have been anything. And then, as you were leaving you passed a poster that you half registered which had the name of the band on it so that later, when you thought: hey, what was the name of that band I saw? You kind of remembered enough to type ‘delicates british indie combo spunk song’ into google. Google sent you here and  - because we like making it easy for you, because we love you, and kind of because we want to get some of your money off you – we’re here to help.

Do you want to get hold of some digital music by us? Great, you can do that by clicking any of the following links:

1. Our latest album, which is the one  with all the songs you didn’t quite get the point of but that seemed to be mainly about David Koresh and the ATF:

Tht’s here: http://corpor.at/A190

2. Our second to last album which has the one where she says snatch, the savages one and is where you’ll find the moodier more cabaret-ish songs?

Right here: http://corpor.at/A28

3. Our debut album which has the one where he says ‘come’ (as a noun) and the one where we are pro-american and which is generally poppier?

Here: http://corpor.at/A27

Do you disdain progress with it’s flawed utopian dream of a seamless life untroubled by visible mechanisms? Why then you may be in the market for one of our Compact Disc or Vinyl packages!

You can find these here:

David Koresh Superstar Cds and Books

Songs For Swinging Lovers Special Editions

Older CDs, Merch etc.

Thank you for visiting, stranger from last night, you will always occupy a special place in our hearts.

To Celebrate The Coming Of Our Ford

In the bleak midwinter, Frosty winds may blow

We’ve only a storage heater, so believe us we should know.

IT IS VERY NEARLY CHRIIIISTMAS, and thus time to huddle with your loved ones against the dying of the light and reflect on its true meaning. A special time when, once, a virgin went to where the ancestor of the dude she wasn’t sleeping with had possibly lived a thousand years previously in order to fill in a census form and – so bored by having to pick from ‘jew’ or ‘polytheist’ in the religion section – decided to have a miraculous sex-free baby (y’know, like Osiris) and start a religion after him for the lulz. What better time, in other words to indulge in consumerism and buy a bunch of awesome STUFF? Like this stuff, for example…

That’s right kids, we now, finally, have VINYL SFSL in stock. If you preordered it, then it’s in the post. If you didn’t because you didn’t trust us – then you can make it up to us by buying one now. You should, because we have to put the price up in the new year if we’re going to cover costs. Seriously, they are very pretty and come in a gorgeous Matte Finish, Gatefold sleeve with enough little details to gaze at that you can just look at them for hours – making them a worthwhile purchase even if you don’t have a record player. What’s more, this your last chance to buy the special edition with all kinds of bundled goodies for the preorder price of £60 w/out CD, £72 with.

http://corporaterecords.co.uk/Indelicates_Store/special.html

Second, we sold a bunch in Germany – but we still have a decent number of Be Afraid Of Your Parents T-Shirts – they are nice and make good undergarments for keeping the cold out, we have discovered.

Third, you can now buy our poetry book ‘Words by…’ direct from lulu – if you missed it last year

http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/words-by-simon-julia-indelicate/5060007

Fourth, COMING SOON – we’ll be selling copies of the SFSL lyric book and ‘Antique Lace Under Musée Glass’ a poster and art book featuring concepts, photographs and the song-by-song posters from the back cover of the vinyl individually.

So you’ll have something to spend your christmas money on.

Also, watch out for NEWS v soon about David Koresh Superstar – which I swear is the best fucking album you haven’t heard in existence.

Merry Merry, and Happy Shopping

Splurge #1: New Video – Roses

Putting us over the halfway mark, here is Julia flouncing about in an ironic confection that you can enjoy on any level that suits you.

Be Afraid Video Now Online

continuing our “video for every goshdarn song on Songs For Swinging Lovers” campaign, we’repleased to release this latest gem onto an uncaring loveless world. Conceived and directed  by Lily Rae – and featuring the creative use of both a pizza cutter and students – this borders on the NSFW and is sort of disturbing, y’know, in an awesome way…

On the subject of videos, if you are a dab hand with windows movie maker and fancy making a video for any of the SFSL tracks (or anything else) we’d love it if you did. Send us links and we’re pretty much guaranteed to blog it here and, if we *heart* it, we’ll probably send you free signed things too.

Also, please write nc17 fanfic about us, we are sick of being the exception to rule 34. If you do that well, you will definitely get a prize.

Finance and Other Trivialities: Special Editions???

Well here’s the thing:

It turns out that vinyl is quite expensive.

No doubt you knew that already, and we knew it too deep down – but we were still a little bit surprised when the quote came back from the vinyl people and it turned out that, having spent most of the money we made from SFSL on making David Koresh Superstar and basic subsistence, we couldn’t really afford to risk placing the order.

We’ve costed it all out and we reckon that, in order to produce a limited run of 250-300 LPs we need to sell at least 90 of them in advance, either on their own or as part of the special edition package that we’ll get to in a minute.

So if – as many of you have approached us to say that you do – you want vinyl you’re going to have to take a step into the world of trust based economics and work with us on something:

Basically, if you would like to buy Songs For Swinging Lovers on vinyl, we’re going to ask you to pre-order it now.

If we don’t get enough pre-orders by the end of September we will refund all money paid. If we get to 90, we’ll place the order with the pressing company and those who pre-order will get their signed copies (+ a link to a pre-order only bonus track) days after we do.

We appreciate that this is a big ask, but if we don’t do it this way, we can’t do it at all – it is, very literally, up to you.

So – if you’d like to place an order, you have several options, all available at:

http://corporaterecords.co.uk/Indelicates_Store/special.html

1. Signed Vinyl LP only – £18

+ link to pre-order only bonus track

2. Special Edition – £72 (£60 w/out CD)

price will increase to £80 after pre-order period

Includes:

Signed Vinyl LP

+ Pre-order only bonus track

+ CD copy

+ ‘Antique Lace Under Musee Glass’ – art/poster book

+ Lyric book

+ A signed, limited edition print of one of Julia’s photographs from the DDR radio building where the album was recorded

+ SFSL shrinky-dink necklace

+ A short length of the actual rope we used to hang ourselves on the cover

+ Fudge

Super Special Edition – £300

Includes:

The Complete Special Edition

+ Simon and Julia will come to anywhere you like (within the UK )on a date of your choosing, play the album for you, record it and then sign a legal document transferring all the rights in the recording to you, thereby creating a limited edition of one.

Obviously, if we fall short of the 90, but a few people are interested in the super special edition, then we’ll probably be able to proceed anyway. Also, the books will be available separately later in the year.

If you want to buy the special edition, but have already purchased the CD, then you can order the CD-less version for £60. This option will not be available after the pre-order period.

We don’t know if this will work, and we’re only vaguely sure of what we’re doing – but it’s been a bit of a year for that sort of thing, and heck if it ain’t gone kinda well so far. Thanks in Advance, and here’s that link again:
