Tiny Cinema & Uno Moller Split EP Released

This has been in the locker for a little while now, but we're very pleased to announce the release of a brilliant split EP featuring our very own Tiny Cinema and Lazy Acre Records' Uno Moller.

The EP features four songs, an original from each artist and a mutual cover version of an existing track by the other artist... So, a new Tiny Cinema song and an Uno Moller cover, performed by Tiny Cinema; and a new Uno Moller song, with a Tiny Cinema cover, performed by Uno Moller. Does that make sense? It's a lot simpler than we're making it. You can listen to the whole EP below for free and you can purchase a digital download for a mere £1.99 from right here. That's less than a latte!

So after a few months off I will be playing a bunch of shows this next week. It’s not quite the epic month long tour I would love to be on but it sure is nice to be planning my week around gigs again.

It all kicks off tonight with a last minute show in Paris. (Details at the bottom of this post)...
